My TA in CMB finds my communications sometimes educational. The discussion of no through checking here was far in advance of the TAs being informed. That and some occasional business mean I get prompt replies to my emails to her.
Buy your sale long haul fare and the connecting flights at the same time from a TA, who will combine them into a single PNR. Separate tickets allow for separate fare rules. Or to put it another way, I can buy an E or R class PEY ticket transPacific with CX and combine with Q class (rather than H or K if purchased via CX) flights on AA to get to my local USA destination. The idea is that the single PNR permits through checking under the new rules from the SE Asia end. And at a reasonable price.
Happy wandering
