Hello,

I am looking to do a reward flight using *A from JFK > Oslo > Zagreb > JFK. From doing a search in this forum, I saw that someone mentioned Oslo as a hub for SK airlines, a member of *A. I also understand, from my reading, that one stopover is allowed on a reward flight by *A as long as the airline that flies you into the stopover city has a hub in that city.

That being said, would the process for booking the above itinerary with miles go something like this?

1) Find a standalone award flight that gets me from JFK to Oslo.
2) Find a standalone award flight that gets me from Oslo to Zagreb.
3) Call up *A or a member airline and tell them the flight numbers and dates, cite the one stopover rule, and make a booking?

Is there something more complex than the above list of steps that I am missing? Anything else to keep in mind when looking for flights that would qualify?

Thank you very much for your help.

Rules vary according to the programme from which you are redeeming your miles.
As I recall, the " hub" rule is only for USAir.
AC's plan, which I am most familiar with, allows one stopover in each direction on
international travel.
Best to ask in the forum for the airline on which you have your miles.

Thanks you for your reply!

BTW, I was asking here because I have miles for many airlines and SPG miles to boot which, while having terrible conversion rates for UA/CO/SK, can be converted to AC/US at 1:1. I am guessing that cross-posting is frowned upon.
