Thanks everyone for the quick responses - still not sure about the BKK-KBV-BKK sectors as there seems to be a difference of opinion!

Do you really mean KBZ, as in Kaikora New Zealand or do you mean KBV which is Krabi? If it's the former then definitely not. If it's the latter (Krabi), then I can't see a problem.
ICN-FRA-LIS or ICN-LHR-LIS are both fine. ICN-FRA-LHR-LIS will probably be rejected due to the unnecessary extra leg. Thanks - thought the second one was a no-go.

Why would ICC allow LHR-BKK-KBV-BKK-ICN as a one-way trip, when it can be done as LHR-BKK-ICN or LHR-FRA-ICN?

No, but for the reason that the BKK-KBV-BKK is a backtrack, however, even if you removed BKK-KBV and back again its highly unlikely as BKK is the opposite side of the planet from ICN.
As for LHR-BKK-ICN not being possible I'm surprised -I thought I'd seen quite a few Z1 (or Z2) - Z7 -Z8 redemptions. :confused: |
In the past, people have been able to get LHR-BKK-NRT or LHR-SIN-NRT without much fuss from the ICC.
LHR-Krabi-ICN (which ultimately, is what you want, the extra BKK steps are merely a consequence and not a ridiculous one at that) sounds as sensible as the routes to NRT above. The opinions at the ICC are as numerous as those on here. Worst case, I would expect them to allow LHR-BKK-ICN. (If they agree to that, Krabi is hardly far from BKK!) |
Now it makes sense for me, ICC can close eyes and accept KBV as stopover, even if you need 2 additional legs to get there.
rtwflyer, go for this itinerary, but be prepared to settle for LHR-BKK-ICN, and buy a separate Y ticket BKK-KBV. |
I've got one: FRA-Seattle, then on from Vancouver to Anchorage. Can't do FRA-YVR as no availability with LH or AC, and there's no availability from SEA-ANC. Is that a permissible routing?

I had also thought of LHR-BKK-HKT-ICN as an option, but guess this also backtracking?
Worst case you would get LHR-BKK-HKT and then HKT-ICN on separate awards, but the HKT-ICN flight can be a devil to find award seats on, and it leaves at something like 0200

TBS is in Zone 2 and London Zone 1, so surely I am best to try to get this as 1 longer one-way award (with a stopover) Zone 2-1 rather than 2 shorter one-way awards zone 2-2 and zone 2-1, as zone 1-2 is cheaper than zone 2-2.
9 No stop-overs are permitted within Europe. Outside of Europe one stop-over is permitted. A stop-over is a lapse of at least 24 hours between your arrival and departure at any transfer point, i.e. if travelling from London Heathrow to Singapore via Frankfurt, you would not be able to stay in Frankfurt for more than 24 hours. |
I'm patiently awaiting some HH miles to show up in my account in order to redeem what I thought was a valid redemption. I tried to plug it into the tax calculator and it is saying that it is not a valid option. What I was planning was:
TLV-FRA LH F FRA-BOS LH F BOS-PIT US Y (regional jet) I figured I could do it with C&M and then it would cost me 60K miles plus the cash. But the calculator says this is not an option. When I change the LH legs to C I get results. So am I to understand you can't use C&M to redeem LH F? I guess this is not going to be my first F experience. One of the problems is availability from FRA to get across the pond in C seems to be hard to find. This will be my first redemption so please be gentle. I did search around and read the FAQ and didn't find the answer. Will they hold a reservation for a few days until the HH miles show up? |

Canarian Islands and Island
I cannot find Canarian Islands and Reykjavik. Do they belong to zone 2 (Spain and Denmark)?

Direct LHR-ICN is 5520 miles vs 8235 via BKK so it's probably well outside of MPM. Routings like LHR-BKK-NRT have been allowed though but that's 5974 direct vs 6458 via BKK, so in MPM terms, it's not a huge difference.
If I were the OP then I would try book XXX-BKK-HKT-ICN first and try a few different agents. If they wouldn't allow it then it should be easy to book XXX-BKK-ICN and then I would just purchase a cheapo airasia return to KBV. On the way back ICN-FRA-LHR-LIS would be pushing it a little and although it may be possible I'm sure you will encounter a few problems. You would have no problems booking ICN-LHR-LIS. |

Asking this again...
Is it possible to go from Z3 to Z9/10 via Z8? Ex: JFK-NRT-TPE-SIN-MLE/SYD |
