Yes. I removed it for flights containing 6 legs. Or have your results been usefull? Expedia cuts off the last leg. You won't get any usefull results. Expedia still shows up for searches with up to 5 legs. At least it should do so.

Any way around this, or alternative booking sources, please?
That's the same problem I had. Ba.com lets you book next Easter, but doesnt give you the price that expedia hk does. I've not found any OTA that allows more than 11 months (except Opodo, but that doesnt price this fare).

On the Matrix I entered the following sectors:

TXL-LHR (25 May 2015)
LHR-SIN (26 May 2015)
SIN-HKG (10 June 2015)
HKG-TXL (14 June 2015)

923GBP. Don't forget HKG as POS

I found that I could price 923 GBP for various dates as long as I avoided weekends for the LHR-SIN and HKG-TXL sectors.

The MH tickets ex BKK to PEK, PVG, TPE book into Z and earn full TPs. Plenty of them! 340 TP for 400 EUR are hard to beat.

But that's OT... just wanted to display that this is a great fare if a) you have to fly this route, b) you want a comfortable ride or c) you are able to piece together a segment optimized itinerary (read: stopovers).

You are not talking about the ITA Matrix here are you?

This certainly makes getting BA Gold (OWE) real easy. It would be nice if it were not on MH though, then again, there is a reason why these tickets are priced so attractively as well...

But the Germany BA fares have the considerable advantage of being current, available, bookable.

I don't think BA Gold is possible through this one trip. The max you can get is around 760TPs (halfway to Gold).

Thanks to dutch_122 and alexwuk for posting the permittable routings (posts 40 & 13) - can I ask if they can post the SUB permitted routings please? (or can someone explain how I can find these so succintly).

I was just to pull the trigger on an ex-DUB WTP fare - which included DPS which I need to reach (along with CGK) - so i'm trying to see if I can squeeze a DPS stop into a routing?

Also apart from HKG, SUB, CGK has anyone seen any other destinations (I know DPS/LOP/JOG are not possible).

1274 eur with a BKK stopover.

Interesting enough, ONLY 1 ticket at this price!

No DPS and side trips not permitted
But you could make a stop elsewhere and get a regional flight on a separate ticket

Thanks for that. The ex-DUB (Y/PE) tix allow SIN-CGK-DPS-HKG routings so was hopeful, i'll hit Jakarta and get a cheapo local flight ^
