Based on your suggestion, I looked at SIN-NRT-LAX on JL, BA is charging $370 in taxes.
Even though I would like to use only BA miles for this trip, but since BA charges horrendous taxes for JL flights, I may consider this:
1. LAX-HKG-DPS on CX - J using 50K BA miles $174 taxes
2. DPS-NRT on CX - J class : 30K AA miles (or 40K BA miles + 53 taxes)
3. NRT-LAX on JL - J class: 50K AA miles + $51 tax
Do you think this is the best redemption ? or any better ideas ?
also, does any *alliance allow stopover with 1-way award ticket ?
thank you.
I don't know of any star carriers that allow stopovers on one way awards. Although UA will now allow an open jaw and stopover with a RT award, which is very nice. You could do an open jaw for your HKG and DPS leg or the open jaw with the cheapest flight. This would allow you 2 stopovers since one will be your open jaw destination.
Without spending more miles, you will have to buy a one way somewhere in your itinerary if you want 2 stopovers.
