The ICN-PNH segments are not overly comfortable. I usually route through BKK both ways. Just make sure not to take the PNH-ICN segment.

You're looking at 60K not 30K. NRT is in Japan, not N Asia.... at least according to UA.

I've been able to include a stopover in a purely S. Asia itin, though it seems to be verboten on paper. Awards between S and N Asia do allow stopovers as they are in different regions.
