  • "Backtracking"?

    Trying to redeem a MNL-TYO ticket in J.

    System keeps telling me it's considered back tracking because the origin and destination aren't in the same direction or something.

    That's ridiculous as they allow KUL, BKK, SGN to TYO. Aren't those backtracking too? There's also BKI-TYO and BKI is just south of MNL. Isn't that backtracking?

    Any luck if I call them?

    Thanks

    It's not written anywhere, but so far, I find that 1.5 times the non-stop route is generally the maximum routing allowed.

    Use www.gcmap.com, check MNL-TYO
    check MNL-SIN-TYO and see if it is more than 1.5x.
    I think it is way more than that

      if looking at that maps it is definately a backtracking for MNL-TYO

      they might be ridiculous as you mention mention as KUL/BKK/SGN/BKI seems like less than 1000 miles from SIN. Could this be a reason they being rediculous?

      MNL-SIN around 1474
      SIN-TYO around 3294

      MNL-SIN-TYO maybe around 4768


      MNL-TYO around 1865 (ANA daily flight) different 2903
      Different 1.55 times more than direct flight.

      could this be a reason they class it as back tracking?

      KUL-SIN-TYO = 3794 against 3326 direct, different 468(got *A operate?)
      BKI-SIN-TYO = 4184 against 2543 direct, different 1641(no direct flight by *A)
      SGN-SIN-MNL = 3970 against 2690 direct, different 1280 (got *A operate?)
      BKK-SIN-MNL = 4170 against 2855 direct, different 1315 (serve by few *A)

        I tried before.... no BKK-SIN-TYO allowed. The "old" chart I think assume that the old route BKK-TYO/KIX was still there...
