I flew a OW biz rtw award last summer. I used the one allowed open jaw. I was told we could not change the routing once ticketed. Never tried to do this.
On some segments had to fly coach because no biz seats available. Was told that if a biz award seat became available, I'd have to pay $75 change fee. As it turned out, I was never asked to pay the fee on the two segments I did change to biz.
For me, biggest challenge in planning had to do with restriction of flying in and out of a particular city only twice.
routing can be changed anytime with $75 re-issue charge. whatever you have booked in, you are entitled to the class of service, this is reflected in your fare code AONEW/DONEW/BONEW for A/D/B tickets repectively on your ticket. the airport chech-in staff are supposed to know this and should not ask for additional charge (as long as routing does not change). However, report has that AA staff do not know what A class really is. also if you can even change transit routing in UA without re-issuing, at gate only. i had tried, eg, flying SFO-ORD-BOS, when the ticket was SFO-DFW-BOS, as long as there is seat when you are at the gate.
