Which zone is Mongolia in?
I am guessing zone 8, but it is not listed as an option on the BMI site. With Air China in *A, I am looking into a HKG - Mongolia award with a stop in PEK. I am hoping this would only be an intra-zone 8 award.
Does anyone know anything about this?
Thanks!
p.a. also why is it impossible to search for intra-China awards on the ANA tool? Does anyone have a workaround?

I thought someone might ask that... 
It's actually a map I made myself...or at least, a map I got off the internet and then added the zones to it myself. I find quite useful when working out redemptions, especially when playing with multiple stopovers or countries that aren't specifically mentioned in the DC literature.
I've got an electronic version somewhere but it probably does infringe copyright in someway.

As for Mongolia, there doesn't ever seem to be any award availability so the issue is now moot for me anyways. Would have been nice to visit though.

I would also like to see the map if you are willing to share. As an experienced cartographer, I'd also be happy to help update it if ever needed.

I think Flying Blue is the only Skyteam FFP that allows one-way awards, and even then it's only possible on AF, KL, NW and UX flights - *not* on KE (ICN-ULN) or SU (SVO-ULN)

Flying Blue is not the only ST FFP that allows one-way redemption.
KE's Skypass also allows one-way awards on KE operated-flights.

You are incorrect. You CAN fly one way awards on KE. it says so on their website, and I did this exact route (ICN-ULN) ONE WAY last year.

But of course I was incorrect before flytofly showed me the error of my ways (see their contribution directly above yours). But if you don't think I'm properly chastised, feel free to make a couple more posts on one-way awards on KE in this thread. Go ahead, if it makes you feel better and pads your postcount.
