It's not married segments, it's a single flight with a layover in BKK. A single flight means one ticket and one boarding card. In the good-old days with paper tickets, you would need a single coupon for the TPE-BKK-LHR flight. I once was on a flight MNL-BKK-KHI-FRA-LGW, and it was all one coupon because it was the same flight with the same flight number.
Married segments is when you have two separate flights that have availability on their own, but which cannot be booked together. Say that you're trying to book LH LHR-FRA-BKK. The flight LHR-FRA has availability, and the flight FRA-BKK has availability, but when you try to add both flights to the same booking, it says that there's no availability. But even with availability, married segments would still count as two segments for Aegean award purposes.

I'm looking for availabilty in May for GRU>ZRH>BEG. United says there are flexible awards seats, but none at A3's website. The closest I can get is a few GRU>ZRH dates. Are these seats not available for M+B members or would one have to call them in order to book them? Any info is much appreciated.

First time trying to get reward tickets.
So I found my flights from united.com which are thai airways from ICN to BKK, but it doesnt show up in aegean's search system. I wonder if I can still call them to book the flight or it's just they don't offer that flight?
Thanks.
