I don't see any award flights from BKK to ADD though. There just one at 70k miles, and then I can find any from ADD to IAD as well, and I assume that's probably another 70k if it exists. Am I going about this the wrong way? It looks like DOH has the most connection options, though i'd rather fly through Tokyo on JAL and get the 70k price.
