Does the Round the World Fare permit intermediate non-air-transportation sectors, so-called surface sectors?
A. Yes, surface sectors are permitted. As they are not included in the calculated Round the World Fare, surface sectors are at the expense of the passenger. If such an intermediate surface sector in itinerary exceeds 24 hours, it is considered as one stopover. The mileage for surface sectors must be included in the maximum permitted mileage calculation. Not more than 5 surface sectors are permitted. Surface sectors between cities and surface sectors between airports in multiple airport cities require a separate coupon.
