TG J would be flat bad?

And it should be 80k, correct? Why do they want 130k? I believe UA allows routing via Asia and Europe..

Majority of the time, that TG flight would actually be angled.

Try PUTPAC?

Sorry for hijacking the thread... But here is an interesting married gesheft. MEL-SIN-FRA-JFK is available for saver award, but when you search SIN-JFK the same flights are not available for saver award.

I got him all the way to JFK, from there he will use some Avios... It sounds you understand that I only got him to FRA.

See here, it seems that its an invalid route... http://travelisfree.com/2014/04/08/uniteds-stopover-and-routing-rules/

I wouldn't put much stock in Drew's "routing rules" as I've violated several of them.

IIRC Gary writes that with US its up to the agent to decided if its a legal routing or not, but with UA it's the computer, do you think  that by playing HUCA there is a chance he can get it for 80k?

Plenty of reps know how to manually price an award. Just a HUCA game between the various Callback, Mumbai, Manilla, 1K, etc.
