But with SIN as the POT, there was no issue routing through WLG. I've also had this on SFO-ICN-HKT-FRA-SFO, where the system had FRA (!!!!) as the POT, so obviously an Asian routing didn't work. But the MPM wasn't even enough to get me to HKT on a fairly direct routing, which made it obvious where the error was.
I didn't, she did say I was over by ~1000 miles
so I sure hope she didn't put BUD as Destination/POT since LHR/LGW/LCY is
Update
changing to IST-HKG-TPE works = valid, 4 pax (2 adults 2 kids) tax/fee is $1500 still seems high to me though without the breakdown
Gonna think more about it
It's frustrating, they have the new rule, and before the rule kicks in they find every ways to decline you from using the OLD rule
