I might misunderstand this, but are you saying
NRT-ORD (open jaw or STOP)
ORD-YWG?
Could I not "stop" in ORD on the way back ? That way if it's a stop or an open jaw, then I can miss it?
Well - I thought the issue was the NRT-ORD segment - ie you wanted to get out at NRT and start flying a new itin on oneworld metal, but return to MIA instead of NRT - hence I am wondering whether it would be allowed to open-jaw to another continent (ie get out at NRT, get back on in ORD, you find your own way in between). IIRC that is not allowed - intra-zone open jaw is OK, but not elsewhere. Can't your OW itin return you to NRT instead of MIA? or would thy cost too much/take too much time?
OT but I can't believe OW doesn't fly ORD-YWG! I checked and it's a solidly *A route from ORD.
