booking LHR - HKG - NRT - LHR
I am trying to book the route above and online it won't let me. Im guessing thats because BA doesn't have a code share between HKG and NRT. Rather than waiting on hold for hours ill ask here if this is possible for BA to book for me, or should i just book an open jaw and get the HKG to NRT separately?

You can do it on CX for a (very) good fare: http://goo.gl/flights/vNOG

BA will certainly be able to do it for you over the phone, although other airlines may be cheaper e.g. CX in the example above.
Search for your dates on Google Flights or ITA Matrix. If you find a BA fare you like just call them up and quote the details.

I've spent most of this weekend trying to book something similar, and keep giving up!
My 'weak-link' was thinking JAL had a flight from BKK-HND/NRT...but the BA booking engine wants to send me back to London in order to reach Tokyo!

The problem in any case is that it only seems bookable as a J fare in combination with the BA directs, so is very expensive.
