Can multiple partners be combined on one award ticket?

I've been investigating options to travel NRT-HKG-MEL on a business and award and am having lots of issues trying to find *A availability.

It dawned on my I could try for VS on HKG-SYD...and sure enough that is available. Then I thought about DL on NRT-HKG and sure enough it also seems available for the dates in question!

Now I do also want to stop over in HKG for a few days.

When I look through the Velocity points tables it all seems very point to point orientated, no mention of stopovers etc.

So will they charge me for 2 seperate bookings NRT-HKG & HKG-SYD at 91,300pts (33,800 + 57,500) vs the 82,000pts it would be for the distance NRT-HKG-SYD?

I'm assuming the former as they've already told me they can't even tag a SYD-MEL onto the same booking as HKG-SYD!

Thanks!

If you take a stop-over, then it would be charged as two separate bookings... Can't see why it would be any other way.

Well there are other programs that allow a stopover on one way awards for no increase in miles...for example with the bmi diamond club miles I'd rather be burning. Velocity is different I guess as they are more mile than zone based.

Well it turned out to be a non question anyway...award reservations are not allowed on DL between NRT and HKG!

To illustrate how other programs differ...I've just booked on bmi Diamond Club:

MEL-BKK-PVG (stop) - Surface Sector - BJS-KIX for the same number of miles as a simple MEL-BKK!
