I see this thread hasn't had any recent activity but am hoping someone can verify what I was told by an agent today.
I know that you have to keep going east to west or west to east on a RTW award ticket. However I didn't realize--as I was told today--that the "no backtracking" rule applies to connecting flights. In other words, if I start my RTW by flying LAX to DPS (Bali) with a change of planes in Singapore--and without spending 24 hours there--I can't return to SIN because Bali is east of Singapore.
Seems a bit unfair given how many Singapore Air flights transit through SIN. If that indeed is the rule, I don't think it's clearly stated on the SQ website.
If your experience has been different, please comment.
