Award change

I have a one way international business award on TK metal, business class XXX-IST-YYY. Due to plans change, I have to terminate in IST.

Any chance I can change the IST-YYY flight to a later date? Just a date change or a stopover. XXX YYY are in the same award region.

Stopovers are not permitted on one-way rewards.

You are kidding right? Turning a cheaper o/w award ticket into a IST return ticket? Come on - do you really expect TK to allow this?

(this is exactly the reason why stop-overs are not permitted on o/w award tickets)

You got the idea I am gonna give it a go and see what happens. I've seen fair amount of airlines doing stuff not allowed as per rules.

What? Why did you have originally a oneway award like that? XXX and YYY in the same region? Is this gonna be a new "boomerang lifemiles" thread?

I had to go to YYY, but due to plans change, I can't. I don't want to lose the flight, so I am going to try and change it. And I know stopovers are not allowed.
