a. ORD-LAX (AA)
b. LAX-HKG (CX)
c. HKG-BKK (CX)
d. BKK-BOM (CX)

Have I missed any viable alternatives that will take less than 30 hours? The only Iberia routings I could come up with were over 32+ hours.

Thanks!
This routing is not possible on an all-partners award since travel to India must be via the atlantic. And it is not a OW award either since you need another OW airline. After 1-Apr, you might be able to do a routing such as
ORD-NRT (JL)
NRT-HKG (JL/CX)
HKG-BOM (CX)
I have not check the schedules or mileage, but it is an option. I suspect that an overnight is required though.
