HKG-SIN, SQ891, J class
SIN-BKK-IST, SQ978 (J), TK69 (J)
IST-IAD-YYZ, TK7 (J), UA3475 (J)
BKK is backtracked via the SIN-IST routing... not sure if that is allowed (but that is the routing given when I put in SIN-IST)
Also, I could see this in United's MP search, but not in ANA... so does it mean it is not available?
ANA does not always provide the same search results. Search using my site to corroborate UA.
Routing via BKK in the way you describe would not be legal because it's your destination. The fact that UA gives it to you doesn't mean much because it's out of context - sure, SIN-IST works that way in principle, but not when BKK is your ultimate destination - only when SIN is. So either you play your routing such that BKK is a stop and SIN is the destination (even for "only" 25 hours), or you will need to find alternate availability.
Also, don't forget you can reroute for $90 per person at a later date. Set a watch list on my site and it'll email you if something becomes available.
