Is there any FF award that allows two stopovers?

Example: MCI-LAX-(stopover)-HNL-(stopover)-HKG-MCI.

This would also be acceptable: MCI-LAX-(stopover)-HKG-HNL-(stopover)-MCI. (Simple plane-change connections omitted.)

The main objective is to avoid unnecessary connections needed to complete the requirements of a two-award itinerary. If I save a few miles, that would be a bonus too.</font>

The answer is affirmative. Many FF programs I know offer 2 or more stopovers in addition to the point of turnaround. AA offers 2 stopovers on joint awards with BA, QF and CX that I know of but not on partner awards within the same continent (e.g. no stopover for QF travel within Australia). Air Canada offers 2 stopovers + destination between North America and Asia, Australia or the Middle East. Cathay Pacific awards allow two stopovers + destination on any round-trip as well. BA and partner joint awards allow 2 stopovers + destination. There are many others... LH on certain award levels, Oneworld awards and etc.
