Any thoughts on possible routing either way where we could use either American miles, British Airways Avios or Delta miles going or coming? We have never been to that part of the world.
My first idea would be to use AA miles on CX or JL. You may have to pay for positioning flights. For your BKK stopover, you’ll probably also have to buy either a one way or round trip ticket on TG or PG to and from HKT. But that is easy and inexpensive.
I don’t know anything about DL. They do not fly to BKK anymore. Sky Team partner KE does, for example. But, again, if you could get the long haul flights on a DL award (if you have millions of sky pesos I imagine for business class
), you could then add the final legs to BKK/HKT on TG or PG (or other airlines).
since you have miles on different airlines, another possibility is doing two separate one way tickets, on different airlines and routings.
