LM award routing: Asia to US via Europe
LM newbie here. Can i use the screenshot method to book Asia to US via Europe?
I want to do HKT to JFK and avoid Air China / Beijing connection. Would like to try and do HKT-FRA-JFK on TG and LH.
Is this feasible?

Based on 5 years + of meddling with LM, I wouldnt expect it to be ticketed.
The site has its "sweet spots and crazy routings", but a human would notice the route and strike it down.
Best case is to try to "massage the website" to show you something via europe, but you would fair better with a departure out of BKK/SIN/KUL, and not HKT where only TG availability is available (meaning at least a 2 stop itinerary).
See below for readily available itineraries in business class!
To avoid the Air China / Beijing connection, chose a departure time well after the CA (Air China) flights departure time, or specify an airline (but this wont work since TG doesnt fly to the US).
