A good example is the itinerary I flew last year to Zambia. On a straight AA/BA business award to Lusaka via London was 150K FF miles. I did a 20,000 mile itinerary (130K FF miles) and flew BWI-DUB-LHR-LUN-surface-JNB-LHR-MUC-MAD-OPO-MAD-MIA-BUF-DCA with sopovers at DUB, LUN, MUC, OPO, MIA, and BUF. No limits on stopovers and less miles. The OW awards are a good deal, especially if you travel thru Europe as there are many OW carriers to use.
