oneworld - Comical Routing, BER-PEK,PVG-BKK,BKK-BER

Requested a multi-city trip from Kayak: BER-PEK,PVG-BKK,BKK-BER

Gotta love oneworld, only alliance I could get a ticket priced out for this. I would absolutely go for it, if it weren't €10,000 :) And the BKK-BER routing is a little too direct!

I don't understand your point. Other than the price being a little high this looks like a very reasonable FT routing to me. ;)

So...
BER-LHR-ORD-PEK/stop/PVG-HEL-BKK/stop/BKK-HEL-BER?
Sounds fun.
Couldn't get it to give you something like BKK-SYD-SIN-FRA-BER?

No point. Seems like a perfectly reasonable routing, I'd even avoid having a short MR at the end of the year. I just thought it was amusing it was the only option Kayak showed, and a nice mix of OW carriers.

BKK-HEL-FRA-SYD-LHR-BER would be better :-)

Understanding your starting point is BER, I would suggest:
BER-LAX-SYD-HKG-PVG-HKG-FRA-BER

Good news: xONE4 with options to insert more legs (up to a total of 16)

Bad news: You'll have to wait for AB joining OW
