Booked this yesterday through AMEX; at first they didn't quite get why I would want to do the routing - until they saw it was far cheaper than anything they proposed.
The BKK stop is part of all routings to HKG and CAN, on alternate days to each destination (HKG and CAN become direct beginning mid July). The other useful characteristic of this fare is that it allows open jaw for pretty much the same price - go to HKG return from NRT/CGK/SIN/BKK/PEK/PVG/GAN/MLE or vice versa
Matrix:
From
FRA
Routing code
DOH CMB
To
HKG
Also works from MUC, or open jaw FRA/MUC. If you take the evening flight FRA - DOH, you get a built in layover of 22h in DOH, if that's of interest.
