At first glance, this really does seem to be a positive change all around now that we know R/T stopovers are still around.

I've update the thread title to reflect the implementation of this new enhancement.

Is this supposed to be bookable on .bomb or will have to be by call-in only? Any success story for booking directly on .bomb? Thanks.

As before it appears you need to call to get the full range of *A partners (at least at this time). Online award booking of the full range of *A partners (RT & OW) would be a great next enhancement.

Thanks for the update. Have not been at my desk all day and it is hard to check .bomb for reservation booking on my iPhone if it ever works at all! May be that is another needed enhancement.

UA, keep that StarNet Blocking vampire in its coffin and you'll have a real winner in this enhancement!
