Advice on redemption validity
Hi guys, i searched the whole RTW thread but it seems no one ever did it.
I want to have these 3 in my RTW as stops/turnarounds. Is there any way to incorporate them knowing there is no routes for reward travel between HKT and SIN:
SIN, HKT, BKK
I was wondering if something like MUC-SIN(stop)-BKK(stop)-HKT(turnaround)-BKK-MUC
Would be something valid? Otherwise it seems like i'll be forced to do an open jaw.
Thanks in advance all!

You need stop turnaround stop. So you could do SIN (stop) - BKK (turnaround) - HKT (stop), if there is any other route on *A from HKT. Otherwise, you could do SIN (stop) -BKK-HKT (turnaround) - BKK (stop).
Also, if you give me your depart city, I'll give you MPM for all these cities.

Departing from Yul.
Are you sure i cannot do 2 stops then turnaround... stops can be anywhere from my experience.
Out of Yul the 2 possible connections that are easy (no-AC flights!) are Munich or Zurich... then on to the SIN-HKT-BKK part in whichever order.
Thanks!

As a reminder, you are looking at the 5M MPM.

HKT seems to be the best bet for turnaround.
For the outbound portion:
You could do a routing like this. I strongly recommend doing LX YUL-ZRH and not LH YUL-MUC. It is very easy to find seats on that LX route.
Then you could do CDG-BKK (also quite easy to find seats) on the 77W with suites.
Finally you could do BKK-HKT.

Wow thanks for the help! So it is actually doable.
I'm leaning towards LX also, the only problem is they usually put their awards availability very late and i was trying to take advantage of the deadline, but Thai Airlines seem to also put it a few days after AC.

Yeah i know, my problem is its for June!
Already doing Sydney-Melbourne-Rome in January-February.
LX post their seats really late, which is good if you know how they work!
Do you know which airlines have 77W Suites? (To SIN)

They are from 9W (aircraft are leased). My trip report of TK (who also leased from 9W): http://thelounge.me/2010/11/17/part-...rt-on-tk-in-f/
