One-way Award Travel

Does anyone know if any of the Star airlines or partner airlines offer one-way travel award?

Apparently 1k members can redeem one way on UA. Don't know if that is still the case.

Since when did AC start allowing one-way rewards? I must have been asleep at the switch on this one. I can't find any mention of it on AC's website either. Is it only for SE's?

It's for everyone. Not publicized AT ALL. There are threads on AC forum. I have redeemed one myself.

Thanks for the info BB. This will double my options for 1-way award travel. Until now I have been using KLM FD pts. for 1-way award travel.

M&M offers one-way awards as of Apr 1 for 75% of RT mileage.

PPB offers real one-way awards for 50% of RT points. PPB encompasses most *A carriers.

Not really... it is by exception only and extremely difficult to be granted the exception.
