Yes but it will be charged as a point to point itinerary. Ie. SYD-SIN-LHR with a stopover in SIN is actually 2 trips in terms of miles SYD-SIN+SIN-LHR
Well you can do a search using the online tool without having the requisite miles in your account, but I don't know about putting a hold on, you might have to try on the phone.
I have no idea what this means. USD cash will let you buy a ticket and the availability should be any seat that is available for sale on the plane.

I'm referring to USDM is there more availability for award seats with life miles. I read on the Au forum there is plenty SQ Availability .

The benefit of automated systems like this is that, unlike programs like BD, you don't have a phone agent to tell you to get a reality check and refuse to ticket lol.Fancy sharing this little loop hole?
EDIT: In the process of trying to figure out your loop hole I found something very interesting... A way of nearly doing a full RTW for 45k in C!
The only way I can see it being less than 30k is if you are effectively flying back to Oceania
Are you somehow routing SYD-Europe-South Pacific??

I'm pretty sure he did...after all ow is 34k + money for conventional routes.
I have studied, and studied the Star routemap and I still can't find the route that takes you from down under to europe for 30-40k...as you say, surely it has to take you back closer to Ocenia than Asia but you couldn't have got there by connecting in Asia in the first place. Unless a destination is simply allocated to an incorrect zone in the system somewhere.

How to get Hilton and Avis to accept the LM number? I tried using TACA as partner, but that doesn't work either...
