Put the first segment on a free, five-day hold. Then, call back during the hold period to add the second segment. Since you won't be re-depositing any miles, there will be no fee for this.
Perfect, thank you. Wasn't sure if adding a segment to a held award would require redepositing and potentially losing the first segment into the ether. And being 330 days out from Golden Week in Japan right now is making it hard to also gauge demand.
There's nothing to re-deposit. Miles are not deducted from your account when you place an award flight on hold. In fact, it's even possible to place an award flight on hold before you have sufficient miles in your account to actually purchase the award flight.
