I know Alaska Air allows you to fly from HKG to Oz with Cathay Pacific. Are you allowed to fly from say BKK to HKG to SYD as well or does the flight have to originate in HKG?

[USER=111]@Luis[/USER] unfortunately I believe the start point has to be HKG.

Correct, only Cathay Pacific, and only from Hong Kong: [URL]https://www.alaskaair.com/content/mileage-plan/award-chart/award-chart-australia.aspx[/URL]

There is a published rate for Intra-Asia travel on CX.

Have looked into the possibility of doing a paid ticket BKK-HKG? You can normally find very affordable premium tickets on this route, including one-ways. Might be cheaper than using miles for a second award ticket.
