I'm sorry, I don't quite follow. How would i be able to tell if it is two separate fares, that were broken at an intermediate point? For example when i typed in ORD and BKK into the timetable it brought up this route as one of the possibilities, over the next 7 days:
Flight 1 of 2:
Flight SWISS 9
From Chicago O'Hare IL US (ORD) Terminal 5
Departure Time 1920
To Zurich CH (ZRH) Terminal
Arrival Time 1100
Duration 8h40m
Meal MB
Aircraft Type 333
Flight 2 of 2:
Flight Thai Airways Intl 971
From Zurich CH (ZRH) Terminal
Departure Time 1330
To Bangkok Suvarnabhumi TH (BKK) Terminal
Arrival Time 0530
Duration 11h00m
Meal M
Aircraft Type 346
(Assuming availability isn't an issue) Could i not just show the agent this route being available on the *Alliance timetable, and have that prove it is a valid routing, and then request this route with a stopover in ZRH for a week?
