On AA OW awards you're allowed 16 segments, but that definitely includes OJs as segments.
Direct flights with 1 flight number (like SFO-ICN-SIN) are just 1 segment.

Don't really have much experience with bumping up against max segments with UA.

Are there any beginner articles on booking these multi segment trips? If not that would be greatly appreciated!

The only problem is shabbos. Otherwise it's easy even on a one way.

Shabbos can be your stopover ;)

Continuous >24 hour stops, possible but wouldn't say easy. Routing, availability, schedule etc all have to fall exactly into place.

They allow an OJ on a OW? What was your routing?

UA considers it the same.

I'm happy to see more people have started to look into boosting their carbon offset.

Right now on a 8 legged one-way (ua)

Why only 8?

Not enough time to book.

With UA some wicked stuff can be pulled off now.

PS: I rather not mention the cities flown now.
