MilesBuzz! - Award from East Coast to Hawaii with stopover

Do nay airlines offer an award from New York- Hawaii that would allow a stopover in Ca fro an extended period of time. I have mileage on just about any airline except US air.

United, on a round trip award.

AS also. Not sure about DL.

AA does not offer stopover other than North America gateway when an international award involves North America.

DL would be RT- AS can be OW. But finding saver space ex-NYC will be interesting.

I was afraid Delta would be the only option. No problem for the saver seats from New York to San Diego or LAX but for the dates I need to go to Hawaii only high mileage awards available.

We just did this (but booked ticket a year ago, so I don't know if things have changed.

JFK - LAX (stopped for 3 days) - HNL

OGG - LAX (stopped for 6 nights) - JFK

We used BA miles on AA metal.

Delta allows stopovers or open jaws (but not both). You can actually book them online, which I coincidentally wrote about last week.

KE miles can do the trick for flights on AS. We redeemed for HNL-PDX(stop)-SEA-MCO, MCO-SEA(stop)-HNL last year. Stopover options in Ca might be harder to find but should be possible.

Things have changed indeed. BA has switched to Avios which now charges per segment, eliminating free stopovers.

Not both ? Since when ? I just booked one recently and a way to Max value of pesos.

That's been my problem with Delta. Whenever I try to redeem Delta miles for a eurotrip in the summer, it's at least 90k miles r/t. But I have heard you can get low award for domestic trips.

Well, it depends how you look at it.

Since BA now charges by flight and distance, and since AA does not offer any direct flights from NYC to Hawaii, a stopover in California now costs the same as a mere connection in California, when using BA Avios, as long as one flies a direct flight from NYC to California, and a direct flight from California to Hawaii. So in a sense, the stopover is free when using BA Avios. But the trip will cost 25,000 Avios each way in Coach, which is more than it cost last year when BA was still on a zone-based system that permitted en-route stopovers. (If AA offered a direct flight from NYC to Hawaii, BA would now charge 25,000 Avios for that flight alone, because of the distance flown.)

Not sure since when, but the Skymiles T&Cs say "Open-jaw travel is permitted and counts as a stopover." Since you're only allowed one stopover, I'll take that to mean you can have an open-jaw or a stopover (unless I'm reading that incorrectly).

I've never seen the T and C, but trust me, you can do both. I recently booked FSD-MSP-LAX-KOA-LAX-MSP stopover for 3 months MSP-EWR....... (I have this booked) I was considering, for return, EWR-MSP stopover for a few months then MSP-LAX-KOA-LAX-MSP-FSD......

I checked into JFK-OGG and then OGG-LAX 3 night stopover then LAX-JFK. I couldn't get 3 tickets on the OGG-LAX leg on AA using BA miles because they only allocate 2 tix on first class on that route. I haven't booked yet, but I plan to book the JFK-OGG leg and the OGG-LAX leg using AA miles on AA, and then United business class LAX-JFK on United business class using USAir miles (which I'm trying to deplete).
