Do I need to insert a FRA stopover between ZRH and IST?

Basically, we need to end up in AKL, and we don't plan on taking the rest of the trip back - we'll finish it a different way. That's the plan at the moment.

Looking for advice here, thank you in advance.
depending on what your 'stops' mean, if it's longer than 24 hours (or what AE qualifies as a connection) then it'll be illegal

you get a max of 2 stops plus your point of turnaround

you'll probably have to make AKL your destination since the NZ award is in a costlier zone than Asia 1

i'm not too sure what the max MPM is and what are the available routings which might let u bypass MPM, maybe others can chime in
