MilesBuzz! - One-Way awards for nonelites

My understanding is that AC allows them. Is that just for AC or all *A flights?

Also, do ANA or VS allow them?

It seems to be something that very few carriers allow for nonelites, correct?

Is there a reason why the information isn't on the FFP websites?

QF also offers them.

BA and CX offer them.

KL and AF offer one way awards regardsless of elite status, not sure if this applies to other ST partners too

AS is going to start offering them soon.

BA, BD, CX are the programs I participate in which have one-way awards available for all members. (Some airlines, like AA, may still not permit BA to issue one-way awards on all AA itineraries.)

(AA has the OneWorld awards, but that doesn't work as well for one-way awards since you need to have two carriers besides AA on those award tickets.)

KL and AF offer one way awards regardsless of elite status, not sure if this applies to other ST partners too

Though Delta definitely does not currently allow this, regardless of elite status (nor will DL allow you to use Skymiles to purchase one way awards on AF or KL), it was reported about a year or so ago in the Delta forum that someone at the top of DL's Skymiles organization had suggested that they're either considering, or working towards offering one-way awards.

All of HA's awards are one-way

Thanks a lot!

Actually, I have not seen it on ANY site. Could be me.. But I know for AC, people said you have to call, and there is definitely nothing about it at all on the website.

I believe NW offers a triangle fare for 150% of the regular round-trip award fare. While not a one-way, it is another of those interesting award possibilities.
Northwest offers the option of booking circle trip award tickets for travel within the continental United States, and between the continental United States and Alaska and Canada. This option allows for a total of two stopovers within a round trip award ticket itinerary and will be priced based on the equivalent of three one-way journeys. To qualify for circle trip pricing, all segments must be booked within a single itinerary. For example, a member may now fly from Minneapolis to Boston, with a stop in Boston, from Boston to Memphis, with a stop in Memphis, and return from Memphis to Minneapolis on a coach PerkSaverSM Award in a single itinerary for 37,500 miles.

AC doesn't offer 1 way awards. Well, they do, but you pay the same as a return.

Guess I'll have to post in AC forum again.
