If the agent searches NRT-HKG, TG and SQ won't come up because of MPM. If the agent searches by segment (NRT-BKK, then BKK-HKG), they probably won't notice that MPM is exceeded. Giving the agent flight numbers instead of origin/destination might work - saying "I want to fly YY123 and then XX321" is more effective than "I want to fly ABC to DEF via GHI"
