We used a partner award ORD-HND on JL, but AA would not allow ORD-HND-OKA over 24 hours despite the quarantine, so she needed 2 separate awards. When investigating the CK agents told me it would be the same with a paid ticket, so I am assuming its the best information, I spoke to a few agents I have known for years at the CK desk.

Good news is there are cheap airport hotels and they do let you leave the room and even go outside, not sure why you even quarantine in that case, just no public transportation and don't go "too far" from the hotel. You do need to download apps and they do call you daily. Also get the PCR test to end the quarantine at the airport, much cheaper, but just remember you cant take public transportation to get back to the airport. Unfortunately we became all too knowledgeable in the process... Good luck!
