I've a question regarding RTW segments within the US. Can anyone tell me if I can do the below:
bkk-sin-mel-syd-lax-jfk-ord-jfk-fra-hkg-sin-bkk
Please note the JFK/LGA-ORD-JFK/LGA roundtrip. Is this legal?
Thanks.

with a Star-rtw-ticket (I guess that's what you want to know?): it is legal if you have only one stopover at any New York City (JFK, LGA, EWR) airport, all other 'stops' there must be in transit (under this 'only 1 stopover rule' all NYC airports count together as one; and so do, on the West-coast, all Los Angeles area airports).
You are allowed to make 'some' Inner-North-American-back-tracking with rtw-tickets.

if the do it correctly (chances are very good if ticketed outside North America) yes, then the under 24 hours rule is correct, even for inner NorthAmerican stops, on a rtw-ticket
(if ticketed in North America, I would be afraid, that some agents will wrongly enter a stopover on your ticket for any stop > 3 hrs 59 minutes, on entirely inner North American flights ...).

Also keep in mind,
With a D class ticket, you will be put in "A" on domestic two class flights, ONLY IF A IS AVAILABLE. There may be plenty of seats for sale in the forward cabin, but if A class is not available, you will be in Y.
You can always waitlist for A should it open.
