Not using one leg of miles trip - can use later?
If you book a ticket on miles and then get off on the layover and don't do the other portion, can you use it later?

Do you really need to start a new thread to ask every extremely basic question about this program, especially when it's virtually the same question that you've already started a thread to ask?

If you don't want to spend the minimal effort to find existing answers to these really basic questions (like simple search or looking in the FAQ), might I at least suggest the Newbie thread for things as basic as this?
Cheers.

For the current thread, the OP isn't specific enough.
If he is referring to a one way international award ticket, he could change the leg from the international gateway to another date.

But you can't just get off the plane and miss your next flight. You would want to arrange this ahead of time - call in to do a date change, adding a stopover. It should be a free change if you are outside the 21-day window.

"It should be a free change if you are outside the 21-day window."
Changing the date of only the post-stopover leg will always be a free change.

Yes, this is a different question, as mvoight said. The other one was a paid round trip. This one is an open-jaw miles trip. I looked all over the website but didn't see anything that addressed this situation.

There are so many possible scenario to what you ask, there are some scenario are possible some are not. Nobody would be able to guess exactly what you are up to. Why the vagueness?
