Isn't HND-SIN-HKG backtracking, thus actually being priced as two awards? There's no need to add a stopover since it's actually a HND-SIN and SIN-HKG award. If you book SIN-HKG-HND/NRT you won't be able to add a stopover in HKG on a one-way award since HKG-HND/NRT is only serviced by a *A partner (ANA).

I’m trying to book a stopover online using the new redemption capability. But it says “Your stopover duration must be between 1 day and 31 days”.
Not aware of this - is this now a new limitation or requirement? Can I say book the stopover for say 30 days, then call up and change the date to another day farther out in the future?

So, before I start badgering phone agents...is the $100 stopover on a Saver award still an option? I'm planning a trip for December and I'd /like/ to stop in Tokyo for a few days...but the website is saying I can't do this on a one-way saver award.

Alright, looks like it'll be time to put the points in and hope this works out.
(If I can't do it then this isn't the end of the world...but it would be nice if I could.)

You might have to ride herd on it...I called yesterday to arrange a stopover on a o/w award ticket. Everything looked ok when I checked the website after the fact, but the last leg was on "reserved" and not "ticketed." Today I got a text from SIA telling me that I needed to complete the booking or it would be canceled, so I had to call in. Apparently, the stopover fee was not successfully charged.
