But I can fly one way for $169 direct and book saver award seats on way back again direct.

So return awards are indirect whilst one way awards are direct?


Overall i am a happy camper but why does united make it so difficult!
Sorry, I'm not following. You can buy a roundtrip direct (nonstop I take it) for $600.
Or you can buy one way for $169 and use miles for the return (nonstop).
But if you try a roundtrip award search, direct options don't show up?
