That's ORD to DPS with a stop in SIN on the outbound trip. That will price as one RT award.

Thanks. That is the example I need.

If you want to book any segment on EVA, you can only mix with UA (What I have heard).
If you want to book any segment on EVA, call EVA first to figure out the
seat availability first and then call UA to ask the agent request the seat.
Or, you can create a BR account to search by yourself.
If it shows waitlist, it is not available.
You can't book the high season award on EVA.
I forget about the EVA award booking code for economy (maybe I) but the business class booking code is D.
Thanks for the detailed steps.

I am not booking EVA. Thank goodness I could use AA miles on CX who does not have blackout date and excellent premium cabin availability released near departure dates. While AA does not allow international stopover, BA's Avios are not too bad for the short hop HKG-TPE - 4500 and about $45 one way, booked online with instant ticketing. Did that in Feb.

I simply want to know if stopover itinerary can still be booked online. Apparently others said it can thru the multiple destination option. There are some very interesting stopovers I have seen could be booked online before in the PMCO days. Lately they all seem disappear so this leads me wonder if now one has to call to book in order to get a stopover. Since the booking engine is the PMCO's I want to double-check with the forum if the stopover itinerary can still be booked online as in the PMCO days.
