Open jaw within same zone is allowed AFAIK. I asked specifically about AKL-BKK-ZRH//FRA-BKK-AKL and this was OK. Including stopovers in BKK both ways.

In the end a simple AKL-BKK-ZRH return was achieved for Mrs TK for 50% award, so my GUP1 was likewise a simple return.

You may care to confirm directly with THAI ROP office.

That's one heck of a good value redemption! Normally I only manage BKK - EU return on these goodies and I consider that a win!

Is it true the gold upgrade award can't be used for a nominee unless you are platinum?

Correct. Gold Upgrade cannot be applied to award nominee by ROP Gold member, and never has in my experience of ROP.

Didn’t know it could be used by a ROP Plat member in this way, but I’m not Plat,

I have not checked current conditions, but I do know that previously I have used some form of award - PUP, GUP or birthday award for a nominee and more than once. Following is what it states about 2017 birthday gift:

This special 2017 birthday gift is a one-time roundtrip redemption valid for all Gold Status members, or an Award Nominee.

The birthday award (50% mikeage award ticket ) can be used by award nominee.

Gold upgrade of a paid ticket cannot be used by award nominee if a Gold member, but can be used by a Platinum member.
