I like being able to book two one ways for added flexibility...the only downside is that no stopovers are allowed on one way tickets.

Just called the 1K desk to try to book a one way Star award and had the agent told me "that functionality hasn't been loaded in the computers yet -- try back next Tuesday"... She said about it being related to the pending weather irrops
Did I just get a misinformed 1K desk agent? Call back and try again?

OW standard award on CO/CS
Hi, did not found the answer on my question, so i'd place it here...
In wich booking class will a standard award be booked? As I understand, it's booked as a normal paid ticket, i.ex. Y/C/F. Does that also apply on Star Alliance partners?
I'd like to book a OW ticket HNL (Hawaii) - X/GUM - MNL (South Asia). CO Flights 957/933 are equipped with International Business class.
So, an OW standard award with mileage plus should be 65k, right?
