HELP ! AA Supervisor on the line, Wadda....!!!!
« on: January 15, 2011, 08:41:38 PM »
Hey,

I put on hold a TLV-ROME-HKG-ROME-TLV in business class for 2.

Its elal connecting to cathay.

They want for each passenger 150k miles !!

Because it goes via a third zone.

Does that make sense? if not, what do I say to proof it to them.

(the passengers stay only 3 hours in Rome)

Makes sense.  AA is very strict about zones.  For example I know they don't let you go from the US to Aussie via Asia, even though CO has no problem with that.

And you can't price it as an AA OW (RTW) with El Al.
Save your time, I don't answer PM. Post it in the forum and a dedicated DDF'er will get back to you as soon as possible.

your example is totally something else, your example goes really out of the way.

They dont have another way to get my guys there as they stay only 1 day.

Its a very logical connection that we are doing.

You can route on the nonstop El Al flight to HKG or on RJ via AMM.  Or El Al/CX via BKK. Etc.

I have no experience booking AA tickets though from TLV.  I'm sure Damax or Eli will be able to help more than I can here.

RJ does not fly to HKG.

RJ definitely flies AMM-BKK-HKG.  Not sure about other routings offhand.

TLV-LHR-JFK is actually less miles than TLV-JFK.
But they are priced as 2 separate segments.
TLV-LHR is 20K, LHR-JFK is 20K (October-May).  Total is 40K one-way.
TLV-JFK is 45K one-way.

Yes, unfortunately, AA does not allow Middle East to Asia via Europe. SQ Krisflyer does not either. I'm pretty sure all other programs allow it...
