I'm not sure whether you might, perhaps, have the option of using ICN//BKK as an open-jaw and make your own arrangements for that segment, which will allow stopover at ICN as well (but will add to cost)Just type YY for the carrier. It's an IATA-defined maximum mileage so it will not vary among airlines. (Some airline fares will specify which cities/routes you must take, which is not applicable for MPM)

PS. As kkjay77 said above, I would recommend taking JFK-ICN nonstop. No real reason why you should add a transit.

Btw, which class are you redeeming for?

I'd love to snag the JFK-ICN direct, but I'm looking for 2 seats in F, so that will be very difficult. In fact, all I can find on OZ are some flights from the West Coast on days I don't really want, but will settle for if I must.

Thanks again for your help, I'll keep looking. Still need to clear up this stopover issue with Aeroplan.
