best outcome for ex XXX mileage run. as North Asia to Sin J fares allow hkg-bkk-sin as routing option. Other than that unless you do circular route i see little value

Additional value to those that want to fly between BKK and SIN in CX / OneWorld.
I have only done the route maybe 5x in 20 years. but nevertheless happy to see CX adding back.

Does the route have demand? Saw half-empty A350s running on the route many times before covid.

if you purchase those 860 USD TPE-SIN P class fare, now you can route it as TPE-HKG-BKK-SIN instead of mere TPE-HKG-SIN and earn additional tier points for same price thus excellent for milege run.

re circular route, say you have business trip to SIn and want to add BKK weekend trip. Now you can do HKG-SIN-BKK-HKG to visit both city.

obviously subject to ticketIng rules etc.

How many TPs in total? Really need to know the math and how often does the $860 pricing show up?

I accural to QF as "status credit" different to CX TP system but logic is same. the 860 usd just do a TPE-SIN flight withut hk stopover on cx.com search ex-tpe fares and you will find further details. ex nom hkg tickets are generally cheaprr

BKK-SIN flights resume 31st March not June. Trips are bookable now: https://www.cathaypacific.com/flight...singapore.html

Fares ex BKK are not exactly that attractive with Y starting from 11.5k THB and J from 23k THB.

Interestingly, F is available for booking on this segment.

But given it is operated by an A330, F is not offered - must be a glitch. When trying to select the F fare it spits out a message that ‘you will be offered business class as first class is not available’

From the dummy booking I have just tried, using multi-city/stop over on the Cathay website (TPE-BKK-SIN-TPE), it shows up at 155 tier points for this pricing, instead of 120 tier points for straight TPE-SIN return at the same price.

When searching as an RT, I can't seem to find this itinerary. I would love to fit TPE-HKG-BKK-SIN with CX. Sounds fun!

How does that pricing make it a good TP run? It's roughly £4.40/TP.
