Yup, VegasGambler found the routing I was looking at for HNL-NRT.

Interesting, so maybe it is the 5th Freedom stopover I can't do?

I was looking at HNL-NRT-ICN-TPE (because KE doesn't fly NRT-TPE directly).

For me, the reason I was looking at KE was two-fold, they seem to have more award seats available (of course this is a dummy booking, so when the actual booking occurs, things might change) and also, the cost is a decent chunk less, 105K versus 130K. Definitely Japan is the preferred stop-over, but having an overnight stop in Seoul with the free city tour would be a nice bonus. Anyone can comment if calling Alaska would be able to get the routing to work if i have the flights? Or are the CSRs limited to whatever shows on the computers?
