What ticket should I get???
I have a find the right deal for my client for the below route before presenting it to my TA tomorrow morning.
HKG-LAX-FRA-CDG-FRA-HKG
The main problems FRA-CDG has no OW airline direct.
Back tracking is probably not a problem I hope.
So... is there any OW fares can buy without getting another ticket?
Thanks in advance.

I.m not sure it's necessarily the best deal, but that is valid for a OneWorld Explorer 3 continents ticket. The fare ex-HKG is HK$21590/45160/64000 +taxes in Y/J/F. The simplest routing would be: HKG-LAX-LHR(or ORD or DFW)-FRA-LHR-CDG-LHR-FRA-HKG
but if this is a business trip and there isn't time to burn and the traveller isn't highly attached to miles then I would do the FRA-CDG-FRA by train (about 5 hours city centre to city centre, and a lot less hassle, or even a sleeper train which leaves about 11pm and gets in at 7am in both directions).

Er, oops - I just realised that if you route in from the US via LHR then you are at 5 segments in Europe, which would require an additional fee. Routing LAX-ORD/DFW-FRA would avoid that extra amount (but would reduce the remaining number of segments available in North America by one).
The segment limits within the base fare are 4 within Europe and Asia, 6 within North America. Extra segments may be purchased, but the total number of segments including the intercontinental ones cannot exceed 20.

So tempting to fly to FLL and Canada
(if they pay for me) ... or is it possible.
