Well that certainly b!ows, I guess I need to think of something else then.

So that means the LAX-AKL-KUL fare for 1900 doesn't allow a stopover?
NW rules on the CSPL fare are similar to the UA D fare. It is a routing fare and allows stopovers for more than 24 hours as long as you follow the routing. Potential stops on the CMB-LAX fare would be either SIN or BKK or HKG as well as NRT and SEA. It's US$670 each way plus fuel surcharge and taxes.
Are you sure this is correct? No matter how I try, I cannot get the CSPL fare to price up CMB-LAX as whenever I enter an en-route stopover HIP tends to kick in. I've tried ITA, and when you enter in a 24hr stopover in NRT it automatically jacks up the pricing over double.
Second, even on a 'through' routing without stopovers (CMB-BKK-NRT-LAX), whilst I can get ITA to price the NW CSPL fare, I cannot get either NWA, Travelocity or Expedia to actually price it up with availability (tried dates up to September).
Finally, ITA brings up a NW regular 'C' fare which allows a HNL stopover, but again, as soon as you put in a BKK or NRT stopover, HIP kicks in.
So far, the only fare that I can find that waives HIP is the UA D and A fares for Business and First respectively.
Has anyone actually found a NW premium fare similar to the UA one that can be priced up where HIP does not apply? Mileage run is great, but I'd want at least one 24 hour stopover somewhere in amongst it all.
So that means the LAX-AKL-KUL fare for 1900 doesn't allow a stopover?
Please re-read the posts. It does allow for stopovers. It is just subject to HIP which makes it more expensive. Don't forget LAX-AKL-KUL for 4,000 is still a good deal as LAX-AKL is 4,000 already. You are getting AKL-KUL for free.

NW regular C fare is MPM based, not route based. It allows unlimited stopovers subject to HIP. You could stop in HNL because it is a LIP. Both CMB-HNL and HNL-LAX are lower than CMB-LAX.
CSPL is route based. You need a TA to get CSPL fare as all segments must be priced at the same through fare. Many online engines tend to break up the fare if you have interlining.

Any other C class fares from CMB or BKK or KUL that allow unlimited stopovers? Thanks.
