One way awards
 

Just noticed that Frontier has one way awards in the US for 10,000 miles

AA miles for CX one-way award?
 

I am thinking about taking the Transiberian Express from Moscow to Beijing. Is there any way I can use my AA miles to get a one-way ticket Beijing-SFO?
Or better, can I open-jaw US-Moscow; BEI-SFO as one award?

I tried once to book a OW-award with AAdvantage and got the info that it is definetely possible to book it, hoever they charge you the roundtrip mileage for it. Only oneway tax of course but I wouldnt burn miles that way.

On the other hand if it´s for vacation purpose, a one way is quiet expensive so you will have to consider.

I always use BD for my one-ways (cruises etc) which gives you a fair 50% discount ^

Open Jaw Awards
 

I did the Trans-Siberian (St Petersburg-Moscow-Vladivostok) a couple of years ago and I used an open-jaw business class award on Northwest without difficulty.

My first leg was US to Helsinki via NW/KL. I then took the train to St Pertersburg and then onto Moscow where I joined a private train to Vladivostok (wuth several intermediate stops). I Vladivostok I purchased a one-way ticket to SEL and then NW back to the US.

They "priced" the award ticket as 1/2 North America to Europe (40,000 miles) and 1/2 North America to Asia (45,000 miles).

The mileage requirements may have changed, but the principle should still be OK.

By the way, I tried to do a similar thing on AA but they would no do it.

Good luck

Delta

Czech airlines do-but only on their own fights.

Delta?
 

It looks like they will let you book an award ticket one way at round-trip mileage. So I don't understand why Delta is included on this list.

Like the OP never tried that. I too have tried to search for this and here is the message that appears, using your own phrase.

I'm hesitant to tell people "just search" because vBulletin's search function is its one very weak point. A lot of common topics do involve three letters or less (MQM or EQM for example). And even for a valid search, sometimes vBulletin's indexes are screwed up and don't return valid results.

Much better way to search
 

I have found that Google's search engine is much smarter and accurate than FTs.
I do ALL of searches this way ^

Goto www.google.com or google search tool bar, type this sarg

and Voila!

Yes, this type of scenario is fine.

You'll be paying the higher mileage amount, though. Flights to Moscow are 40,000 off-peak and flights to China are 50,000 - so expect a 50,000 quote from AA.

I know this works, because I've done a similar trip myself:

AA into Brazil, then out from Punta Arenas, Chile.

Mine were in the same zone, though, so I paid one price - 40 K. But, of course they would love to give you a lesser worth ticket, US-Moscow as opposed to US-Asia.
