Not Enough Segments In Asia On My AONE5
Hello all,
I'm researching my first xONEx. I will be starting my trip in CMB to take advantage of the excellent pricing. However, the 4 segments I'm allowed will not allow me to visit everywhere I want/need to go. So, I'm looking for some advice. Thanks in advance -- everyone here has been an invaluable resource for me in planning my trip.
Here is my current itin in Asia: CMB-HKG-JKT-HKG
I want/need to add the following destinations: BOM, SIN, NRT, and perhaps BKK
Should I just buy separate tickets in CMB? Or is there another oneworld product I should try? (Considering a Circle Pacific but was planning on using award travel to get to CMB.)

Maybe you are better off originating outside of Asia and buy it in Cairo. Then you can buy 2 extra segments in asia (of course this reduces your segments in other continents). However some of these are cheap flights so buying separate tickets would seem to be the alternative (or leave those cities for another trip).

CMB-SIN-CGK-HKG
--rest of trip --
HKG-CMB
But remember you are limited to two stopovers in Asia, so CAI might be a better deal if you are wanting additional stopovers. Then you could do:
LHR-BOM-BKK-SIN-CGK-HKG-NRT-USA
