From Chicago to Tokyo, HK, Delhi
I am based in Chicago and need to make a trip to Tokyo (NRT), HK (HKG),
and Delhi (DEL) next Feb. What is the least expensive strategy to combine those cities? Much of my experience consists of the European route and based on that experience I looked into ORD-DEL tickets with a stop in NRT one way and HKG the other way. However, this strategy does not seem to work with the Pacific route. For example, ORD-DEL ticket prices around $1100 but as soon as I add the stops, the price jumps 2 or 3 times. |

You could look into Cathay Pacific's All-Asia Pass. This costs $1,099 and allows you to travel to Hong Kong and two additional Asian cities. http://www.cathaypacific.com/cpa/en_... 010d21c39____ There may be an additional charge to use Chicago as your gateway city, and another if you want to visit Delhi.

You could price the trip separately. You could look into RTW fares or specials. I know Cathay often has some type of multiple stop "pass" deals. http://www.cathayusa.com/offers/AllA...subdefault.asp |

You might want to check out Cathay Pacific's "All Asia" Pass. About $1100 plus tax (although DEL may be an add-on). You'd have to get to LA on another airline. |

If it doesn’t have to be in that order, you could do either one of these on Singapore Airlines (SQ): 1) Tokyo, Delhi, Hong Kong 2) Hong Kong, Delhi, Tokyo It would be a through fare Chicago to Delhi plus 2 stopovers charges. May not be the least expensive, but you get what you pay for. The Cathay Pacific (CX) pass really isn’t such a good deal because Cathay Pacific (CX) hubs in Hong Kong, the routes are like spokes on a wheel. You have to go back to Hong Kong each time you want to go to a new destination. Geno |

: You could price the trip separately. Of course, that is the default option. Each rt costs approx $1000, so $3000 total with a lot of flexibility as to when I visit each place. The idea behind combining is to pay less. If I have to pay $2500-$3000 for the multi-city ticket, then separate trips are more attractive. Based on my European experience I though a ticket with two stops should cost under $1500 but that does not appear to be the case. : You could look into RTW fares or specials. : I know Cathay often has some type of multiple stop "pass" deals. : http://www.cathayusa.com/offers/AllA...subdefault.asp |

The current pass is not valid to next Feb when I need to travel, but surely something to keep an eye on in case they extend it. |

This was extremely exciting, because this is just the sort of thing I am used to doing on European routes: add one stop each way for a moderate extra charge. So I went to S'pore web site... First surprise, Chicago is not one of their cities in the drop down menu. Not deterred, I tried ex LAX. But their web site didn't produce any results. Of course, could be just the web issue. I'll try again and call them as well. My ORIGINAL thought was- ORD-NRT (stop)-HKG should be possible on JAL or some partner HKG-DEL on CX etc or partner DEL-ORD on AA All of these being One World, some travel agent should be able to sell a combined ticket. So far no luck. |

Try adjusting your search results from different
cities..........sometimes if you try to go through the HUB of the airline it will be cheaper. ---- http://www.moviesitearchive.com/travel On Apr 16, 9:20 pm, AKT wrote: I am based in Chicago and need to make a trip to Tokyo (NRT), HK (HKG), and Delhi (DEL) next Feb.
