Route and segments
Hi,
If you were to go HKG-BKK-SIN on the same flight on the same day, it would be ticketed as HKG-SIN and just a single coupon from your allowance. For your proposal not to get back on the same aircraft on the same day, you will be taking two separate coupons from your allowance.
Just to confuse you, there are some of us who split coupons, same aircraft same flight number on sectors such as you mention. This is a maximum mileage and tier point issue for those of us who do not use all 20 sectors because of time constraints. The most basic example is LHR to SYD which can be a single sector getting 330 tier points or LHR-SIN-SYD which gets 360 if you coupon split for the same departure time and arrival time.
Your example would get more miles for the distance HKG-BKK-SIN than the single coupon HKG-SIN mileage.
I think that the simple answer for you is two coupons from your allowance of four. If you are running short of coupons in Asia, there are two options. You can purchase more on a Visit Asia fare for L class or you might be able to buy more coupons for Asia within your RTW ticket but we need to know more about it to help.
Happy landings
