Not only that, on the award chart.
N Asia - N Asia = 25k
S Asia - S Asia = 25k
S Asia - N Asia = 20k
So it is cheaper to do SIN-ICN than SIN-HKG or SIN-BKK. At least UA Intra S.Asia is 20k and SIN/BKK-NRT on UA is 20K also. Otherwise, CO is just like UA single out Japan for higher redemption rates. NRT-CNS on CO is pretty good deal for 35K. Also RTW only Y/C/F 160/220/280 looks very good. How many stops does CO allow on RTW trip?
