Is this an award ticket? You can't have 2 stopovers if that's the case.

I'm not sure how the OP feels - but it shouldn't break the system. The intent isn't to break or cheat the system. It should charge you what it needs to charge you. Instead you end up with 4 separate PNRs.

I ran into this too - and worked around it by booking each piece separately (at a cost of no stopover discounts). I suppose that is the right way?

Award Tix: Thanks for the info about two stop overs. Will try as you suggest, taking one award tix to EWR and then another to India and FRA.

I have been trying to search an award using multiple destinations all day and it seems to be hit or miss. I am looking for SFO to HKG with a stop in NRT on the way there and non-stop on the way back and it does "price it" consistently.
Could it be a glitch?
I will try again tomorrow.

stop over allowed using a one-way award?
So a modified question Want to use miles to go from EWR to MAA (Chennai, India).
Will I be able to get a free stopover in Oslo, Stockholm or Madrid?
The United Agent was clueless after waiting for 78 minutes!!

A stopover is permitted on roundtrip award travel only. One stopover is permitted, unless otherwise noted. Additional mileage may be required for Saver Awards within the mainland U.S., Alaska and Canada.
