This thread is called "Mini-RTW Questions". It's completely legitimate to ask questions about information you can't easily find on the internet. Every flyertalker, experienced or not, should be able to ask questions without being bullied.

I googled exactly what you wrote in your Google search and I found a lot of outdated information. I thought I knew the information but found it quite confusing after some reading.

If someone else has more expert information, they are welcome to share.

In Sept. we're thinking of a trip
YYZ-FRA stop, FRA-ICN destination; ICN-HNL stop, HNL-YYZ
In Hawaii, could we come back from KOA instead
YYZ-FRA stop, FRA-ICN destination; ICN-HNL stop, KOA-YYZ
That is would HNL and KOA be consider a co-terminal, or is it open-jaw?

You're fine either way, no? Believe you'd be allowed a stop OR an open jaw at that point in your suggested itinerary so you should be OK regardless of how they classify it. (My guess is open jaw)

But inter-island flights aren't too expensive.

Yes they are on different islands. I was wondering if the RTW with an open jaw in the second stop, would be allowed. If it is allowed, then we'll fly one-way HNL to KOA. If it's not allowed, then we'll need to do a roundtrip HNL-KOA.

You can either do two stopovers or one stopover + OJ at the destination (basically, you organize travel between destination & second stopover yourself). So unfortunately no, you can't stop in FRA, ICN AND have an HNL-KOA open-jaw. But should be easy enough to organize the roundtrip seperately, since it only adds one flight to your trip.

Ok thanks. I was hoping because HNL and KOA and close enough, it won't be considered as open jaw and we only need to add a one-way flight HNL-KOA. Now we have to add a return flight KOA-HNL.

I am trying to find flights from KIX-HND. I know NH flies Y for this route several times a day. I noticed that there are no results when I search for that leg on any day. However, if I search BKK-HND, I am offered BKK-KIX-HND as an option, where KIX-HND is NH in Y availability shows up.
