TPE-LAX
LAX-YYZ

The total distance is 19,813 mi, which is less than double the MPM from YYZ-HKG.

When I called in, the agent said the routing was invalid on the way back (HKG-ICN/GMP-TSA/TPE-LAX-YYZ). Is it because ICN/GMP is not the same direction? She said it would've been fine if I dropped ICN/GMP or TPE/TSA. Or is it because there's too many intercity airports?

Would really appreciate some help.

I checked the return trip from HKG to YYZ on ITA and it was a valid route.
HUCA?
That looks okay

(GMP/ICN, TSA/TPE) should be co-terminals though = valid
but honestly no need to do GMP-TSA if ICN-TPE works


HKG-ICN-TPE-LAX seems a bit backtracking vs. HKG-TPE-ICN-LAX

or you could visit Taiwan first (are you stopping or not?) before ICN
or visit Japan, then ICN, then HKG
