They claim you can still get a free stopover if you call and have the agent (be aware of the memo they have sent out and) manually price the award. Bloggers speculate this IT change means that DL will no longer allow stopovers on one-way awards starting in 2015.

Any discussion about these please do so in the discussion thread:

I was going to post about this, I haven't seen AS anymore on DL.com recently.

Had to call DL. Tons of availability but can't see it anymore. DL agents also had to search another system. I'll probably update the first post shortly.
