If you are trying to add a HKG-SIN flight into the booking, that would cause a boost the price. Open jaw means into one city (HKG) and out of another (SIN), you'll have to make your own way between the two (HKG-SIN) on a separate booking. If you do that open jaws book very easily on Opodo with the multi-stop function (LON-HKG out, SIN-LON back). Seems more expensive to visit SIN first, then HKG so avoid that!

LHR-HKG-SIN-LHR is not an open jaw itinerary. LHR-HKG//SIN-LHR is what you should be searching for. Drop the HKG-SIN sector.

RTN from Bangkok £ 214.30
Example £ 214.30 GBP
26/10 STN-IST
27/10 IST-HKG
24/11 BKK-LHR
Lots of other dates seem to work
You should able to get a Air Asia from HKG to BKK for 50 quid or less. Nice cheap way to Thailand and back. The over 24hrs in Turkey saves around £20.00. Seems to apply the UK European departure taxes instead of long haul. Nice to beat the system on that!

Did you try it using the multi stop and specifying the airport (i.e. leg 1: LHR-HKG, leg 2: HKG-STN)? I haven't booked since I want LHR but it seems to work perfectly well when I enter it that way.

too bad ...
Had a look at it this afternoon for early september dates (9/1 - 9/12), TK doesnt appear anymore either.
In genereal however Im a so jealous for London based for travellers, compared to ZRH. The fares are generally low, even for nonstop flights. Buying seperate tickets on LCCs and subsequently likely having to spend a night at a hotel in London however make the total sum go up a lot for a trip.

Well, TK does still appear but at £395.50 in L class where it was £193.50. Those who only bought it yesterday should thank destiny for yesterday being bank holiday in the UK, otherwise, the deal might have been withdrawn 24 hours earlier!

This will be difficult; tickets are paid and issued - deal closed - and I guess TK will object to it. If this is an error on the part of o.uk (most likely because no other web-pages had these low TK fares) o.up will suffer the loss and TK couldn't care less and will most likely not accept canc. of tix and the loss of good will this will create. On the other hand, if TK for some reason suffers the loss, TK may decide to cancel tix but I believe TK will be reluctant to do so; the loss is "only" approx GBP 200/ticket and the loss of good will is imminent.
