This one only gives credit in AZ's Mille Miglia FF program, and in no other Skyteam FF programs that I am aware of.

While it is booked as AZ, it is operated by a non-Skyteam airline - hence it does not qualify.

It says that the ticket will be issued within the next 24 hours... could it be that they decide not to issue it?

Just got my ticket numbers from Cheaptickets! Thanks OP!

Also, does NW still have that stupid rule where you get no miles for tickets purchased on Cheaptickets.com ??

And lastly, do you think it'll be a problem if I ditch the last Air Canada EWR-YYZ segment?

And also, how strictly does Alitalia enforce rules about throwaway segments invalidating the whole ticket? i.e., if I wanted to stay in Italy, and throwaway my Larnaca segments, could I fly back anyway on the existing ticket? I mean, what if I get "sick" at Milan airport or something and have to go to the doctor?

Cyprus Airways will cancel the rest of your booking if you no-show.

I would do this if I could work out a stop-over somewhere either MXP/FCO

(Pefect for going to Tomatina )

Anyone know how to do the stopover?

Alitalia generally enforces it to the point that it won't let you throwaway segments on the departure and still use the return unless specifically noted in the PNR as some type of emergency. It's a big gamble -- most probably a losing one (but less of a losing one than what you'd get with LH or SK) -- to try that with AZ in a non-emergency situation.

If I wanted to be a huge gambler and try something like that, then at least I'd make sure that I have a stopover in Italy on the YYZ to Cyprus ticket.

It's safer to do a one day at your destination and then a stopover in Milan on your return back to North America.
