cash would be around 350eur+tax, which is decent, w/1 free stopover in IST

However, have you taken a look at how much the tickets you want would cost using cash? There are a lot of pretty cheap intra-Europe tickets, and I would think PAR-IST-ATH-PAR would not be too expensive. Just being able to stop in IST would cause me to pay for the ticket with cash instead of miles.

IST is a great, and affordable, city.

You can still use open jaws on intra-Europe awards, you could do PAR-IST/ATH-PAR then buy a IST-ATH one-way ticket ($150). Still maybe not the best use of miles however.
I just redeemed an intra-Europe RIX-LGW-KEF-LGW-BRU award for 20k, a good deal as the flights alone were running over $1100

>>Yes, this is fine. You can stopover at the international gateway city (NRT) either on the outbound or on the return, but not both times. In addition, you may have an open jaw.
Thanks so much, JIMCHI! always good to know the rules before start calling..

I'm booking an award ticket, MSY-YYZ. Would it be possible to stopover in LAX or is that too far out of the way?

Honestly, we should have a better place to post these type of questions. They are valid questions, and no one is reading this thread anymore...nor no one is going to read through all the old pages.

I was just told the following itinerary was a no-go:
AUS-ORD-YYZ/open-jaw/ORD-NRT-PEK/dest/PEK-NRT-ORD-AUS
but AUS-ORD/stopover/ORD-NRT-PEK/dest/PEK-NRT-ORD-AUS is OK.
I've been able to do similar open-jaw itins before:
AUS-DFW-MIA-LIM/open-jaw/CUZ-LIM-UIO/dest/UIO-LIM-DFW-AUS
maybe because the start of the open jaw was the gateway?
Any way I could get in YYZ on this itinerary? No availability on CX or BA on the days I need, and JL doesn't fly to YYZ.
It may be a push anyway, and just buying a one-way to YYZ instead.

Would this be a vaild award?
TVC-ORD-MIA-SAL [end]
SAL-MIA-MCO [stop]
MCO-ORD-TVC
The AAgent told me it would not since MCO was not the gateway. Do you concur or see a way around this?
I guess I could just buy MIA-MCO...would it be valid then?

Jon,
Have you considered moving this info into the wiki so changes can be logged and tracked and be made by multiple people (including volunteer editors), plus content can by hyperlinked and organized much more easily? I was completely unaware that it was being updated here.
I inadvertently already duplicated some info by posting award booking inventory that I had on my hard drive in the wiki here, but the rest of the info could go there as well.
