Was this ticket CX+AS metal or was AA involved. I only ask as JFK is not a AS airport.
Come to think of it I have done a stop-over on CX award in SEA. Granted they may have allowed it due to no other saver seats available without a stopover. I was already booked as open-jaw at the time (ticket was YYZ-HKG-DPS-HKG-LAX-SEA-BOS). It was in 2011 so maybe things have changed
