I have done 3 LM bookings...2 of them had ticket numbers in a matter of minutes, one was more like a few hours.

The agent I last spoke to told me to stay on the line after paying the taxes to see if the booking tickets immediately. It didn't, but she did promise that it would in a few hours - and it did

This is driving me nuts. I'm in BCN and all *A airlines only have J available from here (well except SQ but I can't redeem anything on them ex-BCN) and if I want to fly F, I need to travel to one of the *A hubs to start my trip there.
Annoying.
And so what is the latest news on stopover on one-way itineraries? Not available even calling their call center?

The call centre system doesn't price any itinerary with a stopover. The best part is, the agents just assume the system is down again, and they can't tell the difference between a stop and a stopover.
I've had agents telling me "you can't make more than two stopovers" when my itinerary had three transit stops.

Tell me. We booked LAX-ZRH in LX First before the back door closed. Then had to use more miles for ZRH-MAD. Annoying, yes. But with the 100% buy miles promotions and cash for miles add ons, it's still a good deal... as long as you don't have to change flights and/or use the call centre.
