Is there any sort of MPM restriction on award tickets? I was wondering if I can book an award LHR-MIA-SFO (not b/c I want to stopover there but because there's a lot more availability on LHR-MIA than other t/a's) - aa.com isn't bringing it up, but if there were availability would this be a legal routing?

Does anyone know the answer to this?

Are you allowed to have an open-jaw that begins in the US, goes to Europe, and then returns to the Caribbean?
For example, would DCA-LHR-STT be allowed using an all-partner award?
If the answer to the above is yes, then would one still be allowed to end the ticket in the Caribbean if they had already reentered the US?
For example, would DCA-LHR-ORD(stopover)-STT be allowed using an all-partner award?
Thanks again.

stopover on TAM award?
i think I know the answer-from GRU- iguassu falls brazil- eze- would a stopover be allowed in Iguassu then on to EZE- with a fast connection at GRU? would this require two awards? or are stopvers only in North america not allowed. Since obviously i'm not stopping over in north america.---- i could not get into EZE on my award ticket anyway so might as well see the falls on the way down there.

I was able to use BDA as a transit point in a oneworld award; 23 hrs in BDA didn't count as a stopover.

Inter-region open jaw?
Hmm.. didn't see this covered.
Can you do an open-jaw between regions. Eg. USA-Asia 1/Europe-USA
AUS-PEK/TBS-BRU (stop) - AUS
Would this be 90k for Biz? I know it's possible to do as a oneworld award.

This may be its own thread, but since this thread is about stopovers I'll ask here. I want to book intl award travel with one stopover. AA.com doesn't seem to allow me to do this online, but the Advantage rep said I still would have to pay the $15 fee for her to do it.
Has anyone else been told this, or will Advantage waive the $15 fee for phone reservations if the reservation can NOT be made online? Thanks.

Other than that, I don't think there are any ways around the booking fee. You have to pay that even if you can't book the ticket online (such as wanting a stopover or flying on a partner airline).

AA.com is set up for the great masses (who AA thinks only care about finding the cheapest flight). If this isn't you, you'll pay for the privilege of making your special request.

I skimmed over the whole thread looking for a particular OW award rule, but I couldn't find it, so let me ask here: I believe that with OW awards it's possible to transit through the same airport twice and stopover once max, as long as this isn't the departure or destination airport. Correct? The airport in question would be HGK in my case. On my way between N.A. and Australia, I'm almost always forced to booked CX (if I don't want to travel in Y), and for this particular trip I'd be transiting CX twice, and stopping over once. Thoughts?
