One-way awards with stopovers

Rule 135AS - Stopovers

Stopovers will be permitted under the following conditions:

1) Stopovers must be arranged with AS in advance and specified on the ticket.

2) Stopovers will be permitted at any point which can be included in an itinerary constructed either by the use of a mileage routing or as specified in the published routing, unless such stopover is prohibited in the AS tariff or governmental regulations.

3) Stopover provisions for special fares (applicable to all fares for which stopovers other than at the point of turnaround are prohibited or restricted in number.) when travel at a through fare is interrupted by surface travel, either at intermediate points or at the point of turnaround, the points of disembarkation and reembarkation of the interrupted portion of travel will be considered together as one stopover or the one point of turnaround.

4) Only one stopover is permitted at any single point on the itinerary of a journey traveled at a one way or half a round trip fare. (a) The origin and destination or point of turnaround, as the case may be, may not be included in such itinerary more than once, regardless as to whether or not a stopover is made at such point.

Still beating on this.....any experience or suggestions?

Looking at one-way award travel with stopovers and multi-city (>3 legs?) with an unflown leg....i.e. how to island hop without continuously returning to Anchorage. Probably too creative.

It would be great to string something like Homer, ANC, Cordova, Yakutat, Juneau, Sitka, Petersburg, Wrangel, Ketchikan, etc.

Regardless, one-way supersavers at 7.5K are a great deal.

Any thoughts on one-way cruises with stopovers?

ETA: Just found the Maritime Highway "See Alaska" Pass.....not bad!
