But they said it isnt valid EXCEPT going to SYD, since Korean Air is the only way to get down there. I was like yeah and only one airlines gets you to Male, Madagascar, etc...so I dont get it.....Delta would allow me to fly from Hong Kong to India connecting through Paris if I wanted......They told me that Emirates does participate in RTW redemption but pretty hard to get. Thoughts?
You can always use SIN as a Stopover point and buy a RT SIN-MLE-SIN
