![]() If the above itinerary is permitted, would the "Athens - London via The Athens-London flight would be a connecting flight (less than 24 hours to connect in Vienna so no stopover) but the itinerary as a whole would include two stopovers (in Vienna and Athens.) Would this be allowed? Two stopovers? For instance, could I use the pass to construct theįollowing itinerary: London-Vienna, stopover in Vienna, Vienna -Īthens, stopover in Athens, Athens - London via Vienna with no Pass to construct connecting flights, so long as my itinerary includes ![]() The rules state that "A minimum of two stopovers must be made. I hope anyone reading this who has relevant information can post it probably there will be other people in this forum who will also find it useful. pdf file, apparently for the use of travel agents, but unless I'm missing something, even that file doesn't answer these questions. I also looked at the Air New Zealand site referenced in this thread, which gave the complete rules in a. I sent an email about them to the Star Alliance customer service address, and of course all I got back was a bot-generated email saying to contact my specific airline, and, as someone else remarked, we all know how that goes. I'd like to revive this thread since I have some further questions about the Star Alliance European Airpass that I haven't seen answered here. I booked London to Zurich on BA in June for $109 r/t. I've had very good luck with them and some surprisingly low pricing using flag carriers. I find the easiest way to book Star Alliance carriers online is through Expedia. I've got a half million miles on UA right now - I don't sweat the 250 or so I get flying SAS between OSL and ARN. Sure, you get lounge access - but the seating on those intra-European flights is tight, there's little service and all I really care about is getting the baggage back. They're often cheaper than the Star Alliance carriers and once you've flown Lufthansa, SAS, Austrian, BMI and the rest - they're all the same. Now, I generally fly low cost European carriers once I get there. It all worked out but it was more of a pain than anything. I paid it and they sent the tickets in the mail. I booked the multi-city itinerary and they called back about two days later with the pricing on it. And even then, they couldn't price it on the phone. This I was able to do over the phone - but it took getting passed around to a couple of reservation agents to find one who knew what she was doing. How strange! If I hadn't stopped by the previous day, I would have had to schlep out to OSL and do it there at the airport. The next day, I went back to the station and noticed that SAS was dismantling their downtown ticket office - the one I had just bought the tickets at the day before. I spend $650+ and walked out with my flight coupons/boarding passes. ![]() I found the place and a patient and helpful agent worked it all out. I told them what I wanted to do and they told me I had to go inside the Central Station and book the tickets at the official SAS ticket center. I was in Oslo and went to travel agent near the train station - with a big SAS sign over the door. OK, I thought that was a bit strange but the reservations agent - on the phone - was firm about not being able to book the Air Pass other than in person. that I would to book those flights when I got to Europe. I flew SAS from EWR>CPH and wanted to do some flights on Star Alliance in Northern Europe. It all comes down to the person on the other side of the counter/phone. Does anybody have a link to the complete rundown ?I've bought two and both times found the experience frustrating. I am hesitant to buy such pass before knowing all the fine print. Checking LH- & *- sites only provide tidbits and "check with your airline res".
