Up to HKT you are a bit SF...

After that you are just a traveler.

PS: Is there a new total of miles and taxes, also concerning hotels?

PPS: I hope its just ADT's traveling.

You mean regular traverles don't quintuple connect to get somewhere?  Ah the joys of planning holiday travel in F on an inflexible OneWorld ticket...

I booked BKK-HKT-CNX-BKK on Air Asia (FD).  Each FD leg is about $60.

It's worth noting that I discovered that taxes are cheaper when booking via FD's mobile site than their main site!

What is ADT?

I never used those asia miles.
Only worth it for short trips?

ADT = adult

(I've realized on a similar note that renting via avis.com is cheaper on pc than mobile)

If there's no award availability ClE-YYZ to get onto CX827, AA should send a private jet to pick up the stranded million-miler!

If you make it onto CX827 on Sunday, you will also have to find yourself a place to stay overnight in HKG, as the flight to BKK, does not go until the next day. Alternately, get an earlier connection to BKK, and find a place to stay there, the night before the BKK-HKT flight.

The AAgents all feign shock when I suggest that AA F isn't quite the same as BA/CX F.

The problem is no flights are scheduled between CLE-YYZ that can make the YYZ-HKG flight.

They won't book me on CO from CLE-YYZ and they won't let me start in YYZ as you can't change the country of origin.

Do they have an AA flight to put you on to HKG in F?
