For example Fra-Cai-Sin-Hnd-Fra. Technically not backtracking zones but skipping a zone.
What you don't want to come and visit us in the states? Yes I believe it would be a valid itinerary as people have booked things like JFK-HND;NRT-LAX. As you head out of FRA to CAI you started a direction. There is no rule you have to fly over a certain ocean so I don't think this would be considered backtracking as you went from HND-FRA its more of a direct route over "arctic". If you tried FRA-HND-FRA then I think it would be a backtracking issue. This question might be worth a call to get a definitive answer from ANA.
