HKG - SIN (Stop) - DME may be OK

IS it possible to go MCO-BOG-EZE-JNB-ADD-PEK

From MCO there are flights to South America, and SAA does fly to Brazil/Argentina. Eithiopian flies direct to Beijing from Addis. Thus is this an allowable route?

MCO-MOON-PEK would be shorter.....

Could I avoid paying the YQ charge going via that place? @:-)

Nah too much YQ on rocket fuel :p

Unfortunately a quick route check on ITA (NASA version) shows YQ is payable.

Rocket (high) fuel surcharge? :p

A valid route as on staralliance.com is something like MCO-EWR-PEK which is 7,768 miles
MCO-BOG-EZE-JNB-ADD-PEK is 17,347 so I would reckon no chance

Manage to get both ICN - SIN (Stop) - DME and HKG - SIN (Stop) - DME.

Pleasantly surprised to be honest.

I'm hoping to use up my DC miles (nearly 100K miles). Could someone tell me if this sort of route is allowed?

Miles + Cash: 2 X single tickets (Business)
NRT (zone 8) to RAK (zone 2 - Marrakech) with 8 week stopover in LHR (zone 1)

Is that a legitimate Zone 8 to Zone 2 journey? Will I be prevented from doing the stopover in Zone 1?

If so ... Could I do NRT (zone 8) to RAK (zone 2 - Marrakech) with 8 week stopover somewhere in Western Europe?

Route is fine but you will not be allowed a stop over in zone 1 or 2.

I tried looking for the answer but couldn't find it, are date changes allowed after your first departure? I think I read somewhere saying no changes are allowed after your first flight, but I can't find that anymore

Also, if the above is allowed, would this be a valid routing

YVR-SFO-NRT-SIN(Stop)-DEL?

no changes after departure, see the T&C on BMI.com

Z2 - Z10 via Z7
 
Looking to take advantage of this backward but legal routing.

Could I book 2 one-way awards as follows?

IST-BKK(stopover)-KTM(dest)

MLE-SIN(stopover)-BCN(dest)

Also, how can I find business class availability on the SQ 77W SIN-BCN?
