Does anybody know why single one way award is available from CPH-SEA and SEA-HNL but if I do CPH-SEA-HNL with a stopover in SEA it doesn't give me any availability. Not even with a CPH-SEA-LAX. That's strange, this is on AA.
I'm guessing that there is no published fare for Alaska Airlines from CPH-HNL. The only way to fly SEA-HNL is nonstop on AS or use AS to connect thru LAX to HNL. Therefore you cannot use AS for your CPH-SEA-HNL itinerary.

Here is an example. I wanted to fly HNL-LAX-JFK-LHR. The only availability on the HNL-LAX portion was on Hawaiin Airlines. Since they do not have a fare HNL-LHR, I could not use HA. An all AA routing was OK. And I could fly HNL-LAX-JFK with HA and AA, but not to LHR.
