Then this can be redeemed with either US or UA miels.

I read the comments here that non-oneworld partners cannot be mixed with oneworld partners on an award.
However if I pay for the 2 separate awards can they be put in one PNR? For example an IB flight and an A3 flight. Has anyone tried this? My guess is even that is not allowed, but it would be nice to protect me from a missed connection. Thanks.

Keep in mind that a US PNR =! OAL PNR, what counts is the ticket (and separate award=separate ticket on 037 ticket stock). I have booked tickets on US before. There's always a separate PNR for other airlines that I use to get the seat reservation, etc...

Sorry. I meant to write "one ticket" not "one PNR." I guess maybe this won't work. (I do know IB/A3 at least had an interline agreement the last time I flew this a few years ago, just nothing about ticketing agreements.)

Practically all the airlines (a few small regional LCCs excepted) "talk" to each other and have baggage interline agreements with each other, being in the same "alliance" or not is by no means a requirement. You can easily have one ticket with SkyTeam, Star Alliance, One World and "non-alliance" airline flights, and they will all see it and honour it accordingly (as is typical, each airline will normally only see the flight immediately preceeding its own and not the earlier ones).

Right, but two awards, one PNR = two tickets (for instance, two awards out of same account, same flights, two different people = one PNR, two tickets). I'm not talking about one ticket that goes across multiple airlines. If you have a US award for A3, you won't be protected if you show up late for your IB flight on a second award, because it will be on a separate ticket.
While I may be wrong, I am quite certain that PNRs are automatically generated and that one cannot combine multiple itineraries (separate tickets or sets of tickets) on one PNR... at least, not natively, may be one "master" PNR that links to the other two "real" PNRs? But that is just pure speculation. (But, would a US res. agent know how to do that, if so is actually possible? Almost surely not, I'd say.)

Is US pretty strict about making connections in another zone? I am going Nagoya-Bishkek (all North Asia), but the connection has to be in Istanbul (Europe)...wonder how strict they are with that.

That being said... S7 is a OW member. So Nagoya-Bishkek might be possible on an all-OW itinerary.

I'm looking to book a RT stopover on Aegean and skipping the return leg. I couldn't find a wiki on where to search availability. Could someone point me in the right direction?
