"sometimes I think it's a good strategy to book two one-way awards rather than a round-trip so that you can grab those seats not a moment too late at 330 days out. However, one-way overseas awards don't provide the luxury of getting stopovers like round-trip awards do."
A one-way award between North America and another zone booked with AA miles does permit a free stopover at the North American gateway.
And another advantage of being 1k on UA. I can book a one way and then change it to a roundtrip when the inbound becomes available
