Hi guys, are you allowed to transit through your home city?
You cannot transit back through the origin. Is that what your question is about?.. are you allowed to transit through your home city?

I have cancelled OWAs for my wife and myself - separate PNRs - beginning mid May - no points or taxes back yet!Hi guys,
Has anyone had to cancel their trip before beginning any travel? Did you go ahead and do this online and did you receive all points and charges back? Unfortunately looking to do this as was meant to be heading off to Italy in a little under a months time.
Thanks

You are probably still on hold.Ok thanks waiting on the phone now.
That's a reasonable price, wonder what SIN-MEL-SIN would be. I might have some spare QFF points to cover it, but just to be clear did you also buy a one way SIN-BNE to come home at the end?Worse comes to worse, I'd buy cheap economy flights SIN-BNE-SIN - currently $312 each way.
I do have some United Mileage Plus miles and fly Singapore .
Its a bit hard going back to economy seats once you spent a month flying in the front of the plane!

Thanks for that. I'll check it out.

So even if I am buying a ticket separately? What about if I start and finish in SIN rather than just start there?1. In your example the start/end port is SIN, so you need to add the mileage MEL-SIN to the miles actually flown.
So if leg 1 was spread over 2 months say, would I need to wait till the last flight was released to start booking? And do they keep adding the cost each time but cut off at the maximum for an OWA ticket? How do they know that is what you are booking?2. You don't need to book the entire itinerary. You can start by booking Leg 1 when those dates are released. When the flights for Leg 2 are released, you call and add those to your original booking.
So in this example does the mileage between legs count towards the total?I'm MEL based, so I could as suggested book a flight to SIN to start the first leg but just wondering why you wouldn't fly back to MEL, start and finish the second leg there?
Your OWA first sector would be MEL-where ever ,
you would finish your first leg of the OWA at SIN and find your own way home from SIN.
The second leg of your award would start from SIN but finish in MEL all as part of the award.
I guess that is because I hadn't thought those flights being booked separately would count for the mileage. That's a bit scummy of them. It sort of defeats the point of doing that except I guess for allowing you to return to home in the middle.for "SIN-LHR-MEL (stopover) -SFO-MEL"
Looks like it's over the 35k mile limit:
33K miles + notional return distance (MEL-SIN) 3.7K miles = 36,700 miles.
I appreciate that and have dipped in to the thread but haven't found it easy gleaning useful info.Plenty of AFFers have posted a lot of excellent information, available in the almost 9,000 posts in this thread.
Very good reading for those just starting out on the OWA journey, especially those who may have some extra time on their hands these days.
I'm not sure i understand the question.So in this example does the mileage between legs count towards the total?
There’s a mass of useful information in this thread. A fair amount of reading is needed, otherwise it will be a matter of just floundering around.I appreciate that and have dipped in to the thread but haven't found it easy gleaning useful info.
