Multi City Award difficulty
Unable to get AS website to process any MultiCity award requests.
I am aware of recent changes but this is off my radar.
I can find availability doing some oneways only.
Is there something I am missing, due to AS joining OneWorld etc ?
Thx

Multi-city awards will work for your return award but not for your desired itinerary. It appears you want to stopover in Vegas before heading home to PDX. AS awards allow for a stopover in the gateway city, either at the international gateway or at the US arrival destination. That aside, your issue is that AA doesn't fly non-stop LHR/AMS to/from LAS so you can't use LAS as a stopover point.
You could fly LHR-SEA/DFW/LAX-LAS for example with or without a stopover in SEA/DFW/LAX but you can't fly LHR-SEA/LAX-LAS/stopover/LAS-PDX on one award.
The best alternative may be to fly to LAS on the award and then pick up a cheap AS LAS-PDX revenue flight.

Great info thanks....
OK forget AMS - (I could do a nested rev fare LHR - AMS - LHR)
But I am still unable to get return LHR - LAS (like I always used to be able to) on the same award itinerary.
(YES I would get a separate Delta mile OW LAS - PDX. to get me to home base)
Thanks!
