You have the following choices;
1. Make the first HKG a transit.
2. Fly direct NRT-BKK - which will free up one other segment that can be used elsewhere (but no more stopovers in Asia)
3. Fly direct NRT-SIN - which will free up 2 segments (but no more stopovers in Asia).
Other points;
1. I don't know which class this is being flown in but economy or business fares are often very cheap between HKG , BKK and SIN - and are often not worth wasting a RTW segment on. Check out prices on Kayak.com, zuji or similar.
2. DEL-NRT good segment! JL has brought in some really good new routes to the OW ticket.
3. I also think BKK//SIN counts as one. I had problems with Cathay in CMB refusing to issue the ticket last year with
CMB-BKK // NRT-LHR on it for that reason, but all (real and potential) re-issues since have included those segments with no problem. As always with OW RTW - if someone is mis-interpreting the rules you are stuffed for that day at least! Having said that the new rules make this a bit of a waste anyway.
