Please don't call Tk or Expedia or anybody else. I'd like for this one to live longer than a few hours.

By the way these are the penalties for this full-flex fare (seem to have lost in the previous rules post):
Note that given one way fare exists, you are even eligible to refund part of the fare and surcharges/ taxes (which are huge) in case you only use 1/2 of the ticket.

That same link that shows the Comfort Class seat notes that the service is being rolled out gradually on 777 aircraft on certain routes. The HKG route is shown as being fully in place by September, 2011. Note that the fare is currently good through EOS, and allows for a long stay.

You should book economy, not 'premium economy'. Note that stuplid TK site charges EUR 65 of serivce fees for a stopover. So it is better to make changes after departure (though some may say this is not safe to keep the fare from repricing in my view this is perfectly OK with IATA rules).
