3/15: LAX-HKG @ Korean Air (Stopover)
3/23: HKG-PEK @ China Southern Air, SkyTeam
4/13: PVG-LAX @ Korean Air
Beijing would be my final destination on my outbound. There would be no stopover on my inbound. I believe the total should be 125k Korean Air miles.
Is this a valid booking? Thanks!
You should be able to. KE allows one stopover and one open-jaw in the same country on an international RT. However, you'd need 155k KE miles, though, since it's a partner award. Since KE charges significant YQ for flights into mainland China, you may be better off buying tickets between mainland and HKG separately (YQ to HKG is low).
