Thanks
JJeffrey ... your response is very helpful and reminds me why I've been on Flyertalk all these years.
The one sentence that confuses me is:
"
You cannot fly from the US to Asia 2 via DOH on a single award anyways, so if you can get it changed to just SFO-DOH it will hopefully make it easier for the agent to add on a separate DOH-BKK."
So if I can't fly to Asia 2 on a single award, how would an agent be able to add it to the award ticket?
My current thought is I will ticket now and call back in 6-10 days when I hit EXP status and hope that I can get a great agent who can help me out.
Welcome any other suggesions! Thanks
