VA now allows international multi city bookings online, when did this start?

I just tried to do one in the USA in September and it didn't work..... where did you get this info from?

Try from NZ to BNE to SYD.
Maybe it's selective multicity.
Am on iPod but will try with laptop later.

It only works on selected locations.


This has been the case for some time now.

I was very surprised too when I recently found that international multi-city bookings are now "live" - but yes, it only seems to work on selected locations. For example, you can't book flights from one location to another within the US.

I was able to book as separate flights (on the one PNR) - PER-SYD, overnight stay then SYD-SEA (via LAX of course), then returning SEA-SYD, SYD-PER. Entering the final SYD-PER sector as an additional flight on the search (even though it was on the same day as arrival back into Sydney) gave me a better choice of connections SEA-LAX-SYD-PER than it did if I just selected SEA-PER.

However, you should be able to do points bookings to/between just about anywhere

Not sure how new it is... for a while now I've noticed it works for some cities, but not others. For example, you can use cities in Thailand as intermediate stops in a multi-city itinerary, but it seems like no other Asian cities? Not even SIN?
