One of my better ANA Award values was:
CLT - PHL - MAN - BRU // Surface Travel // ZRH - MUC // Stopover // MUC - MAN - PHL - CLT for 68,000 ANA points in business class with no YQ.
Thanks so much, this explains it perfectly. One question I still have is about the itinerary you booked. I'm assuming that PHL and MAN were just layovers then, and not stopovers?

You had two stopovers (BRU and MUC) and the rest were just under 24 hour layovers?

Thanks again!
