In skynet/employeeres/quick links
Question - In skynet/employeeres/quick links there is a section called 'Custom Routing'. Does anybody know how and why you would use the custom routing procedure to make a reservation.
Thanks -

IE, flying from ORD to DEN to visit family, but then driving to visit other family in COS, Then flying from COS to LAX for some more fun, and then flying home from SNA to ORD.
With the custom routing feature, you can search/list for all 3 flights in one listing.
Don't really see it as too valuable, but maybe it would save you a vacation pass ?

I've also seen this anomaly: Looking for flights between A and C, with a plane change in B.
If both flights are Express....it won't show them. It will show them if I look individually...but not as a connection.
I've seen this with two different city pairs (only have UAX where I live).
Not sure if Custom would address that.

The biggest reason to use it is if you are trying to be efficient with vacation passes. You can use it to create a reservation with as long as a 24 hour layover somewhere and as long as you keep it all on one reservation, it only uses one vacation pass.... We've used it to take an early flight to SFO, spend the entire day there, then the late flight to SYD. The custom routing let us keep it on one reservation and use only 1 vacation pass. If just type in XYZ outstation to SYD the early flight from the outstation to SFO wouldn't show up because it was a 12 hour connection.

Back in the day I went SAT-IAH-NRT-GUM spent 2 days in GUM and then went to CNS, all with a single vacation pass and all in first class (had to go to SAT to get ahead of local nonrevs in IAH, back when you had a higher priority on through flights). Custom routing is the only way to build a trip like that.

Does the vacation pass have a time limit between connecting flights?
As an example : EWR-ORD layover 48 hours then on to DEN and layover 96 hours before heading on to LAX for a week layover before catching a connecting flight to CDG all on a single vacation pass.
Not that you'd do it but is it possible?
