JFK-LIH (through LAX) on AA F for 65k
Did I get ripped off? Was there a cheaper way to book?

Just booked 3 tickets in Business on Singapore Airlines.
LAX - SIN - RGN with a stopover in SIN
Open Jaw
REP - SIN - LAX
176K SQ miles, and $235 YQ / each
I had to call in as you can't book open jaws online and the phone booking fee was waived.
They made it pretty easy to book all 3 tickets on the same call pulling the miles from each of our accounts.
The whole call took 12 minutes.

They shouldn't charge YQ on Singapore metal.

Hmm, it's all on SQ except one leg on MI.
I guess I should call back and ask to talk to a supervisor ?
Oddly enough they took my card but I still don't see a pending charge. So maybe wait until I see the charge on the card?

Taxes and fees, not YQ(/fuel surcharges).

Sometimes people get them confused and use the same terminology for them, when they are actually 2 separate things.

Oops. That must be it. Although I did email their customer service to confirm they didn't charge for the stopover or the phone booking.

Nope

No free stopover?

Nope, needs to be flown before or I lose the rest. Doesn't appeal to me.

Going before Shabbos :P
