Put an award on hold today and would appreciate feedback if anyone thinks this routing is not valid. Got to this point after speaking with three agents. One wasn't aware that there are partnerships between US and some *A carriers (Air China, TAP) but she figured it out. It's a North Asia with EU stopover on the way back:
1. MCO>PHL>FRA>PEK (US then CA)
(no stopover and all plane changes < 24 hours)
(final destination: PEK; length of stay 7 days)
2. PEK>MAD (CA nonstop)
(EU stopover: 20 days in MAD)
3. MAD>LIS>PHL>MCO (TP then US)
The only thing I could imagine someone might say is wrong with this is that either a) MAD is not CA's European gateway, or b) since it's going MAD>LIS, not MAD>PHL, I'm not stopping in one of US's European gateways). But I'd like to check if any of that reasoning seems valid.
Thanks in advance for your comments.

You’re allowed one stopover per US Airways itinerary at a US Airways gateway or international destination, or in a partner hub city if you’re traveling on an award partner. US Airways hub/international gateway cities include Charlotte, Philadelphia and Phoenix. Call Reservations for additional US Airways international gateways and partner hub cities.

MAD as IB partner Hub will not count as you're booking a non OW award and no mix of partners and OW are allowed... So assume same applies for the rest of the rules too...

Can you connect in the same-city for stopover and destination? Not a gateway or hub though so maybe not possible....

Is it possible to book Singapore airlines business class cabin intra-asia? I see on the post is say no long haul? Also is it possible to do a stopover in Singapore? Is the stopover only limited to the non-oneworld partner hubs?

Stopover tecnically possible (it's a partner hub - as stated in the rules), but mind, there is no stopover allowed in a single zone award...

I have booked SIN-BOM, etc, in I class, but this was before US Airways left *alliance. I however guess still doable as long as it not an A380 or 77W flight

Is it possible to mix AA awards with, say, EVA using USDM? Considering US ~= AA right now.

US is most certainly NOT AA until such time as they quit issuing 037 tickets (US) and only issue 001 tickets (AA).

Just wondering about award space on BR- is there ever a situation where one can see award space show up when searching from a Star partner (say, UA) but US can't see it? I'm trying to book SEA-TPE-PVG and twice the agent says they can see that SEA-TPE exists but that there's no space when UA's site shows two seats open for the dates I want.
