US Airways routing question
« on: January 16, 2013, 04:16:06 PM »
I have read many times that us airways will book you crazy routings, their computers dont block any routing and the agents dont know geography, etc. My question is how extreme can you go? is it worth it to try booking a flight usa-europe stopping in australia? or to some wacky sounding town in central america- carribean and put a stop in tlv? how crazy a trip can i expect to be able to pull through them? (i dont want to spend time searching and then huca a million times if i have no chance in getting the stop in, say australia. So any help on what i can expect would be greatly appreciated) Thanks!

I had a flight Dubai-Bangkok in Business and agent thought Dubai was in South Asia as well. Only charged 30k. I just said thanks :-)

These day its harder to get a real crazy routing....
