So I'd love to be able to do a stopover on an Asia to N. America one way trip.
Either it would be stopping in HNL on the way to LAX, or the opposite.
Is this doable, or do I have routing/MPM issues to be concerned about.

And if I can't get the website to price it out, can CS help out, or am I DOA?

Is it just me or is Alaska the most underrated award program- especially if you live on the west coast? e.g. Cathay bookings to Asia and Africa and stopover domestic one-ways.

Would a call in help?

They're fantastic.

Just to name a few off the top of my head:

--Great partners, including EK, CX, QF, FJ without YQ
--One way partner redemptions
--Free stopovers on one-ways
--Free changes/cancellation of bookings until 60 days before flight.
--Some mind-bogglingly good redemptions including US-JNB for 70K in F+J and USA-AUS for 80K in F+J.

One downside that's somewhat annoying:

--Can't mix and match partners on awards.

Easier than SPG, much harder than UR.

To clarify for others, you can mix it w/ AS metal, just not with other partners.

AS isn't a "partner," but fair enough.

I don't know about that- I've never been approved for three sapphires at the same time :)

I have been approved for nearly 200k UR in one shot. That's about eight current AS cards, not to mention that there are no less than 5 cards that earn UR (compared to two AS) and some of the UR cards are 5x more lucrative than AS for actual spending.
