I've seen the following auto-price:

IAD-MUC (OJ)
ZRH-IAD (stopover)
IAD-LAX (OJ)
that has the open jaw at the destination not the stop over.... not what he was talking about

MUC is the point of turnaround so it would work. I was asking if the OJ was with the stopover.

thanks for that

i actually have a ticket syd-icn stop icn-lax destination jfk-tlv

it ticketed online, but everytime i call to make a change it doesnt price and they have to manually do it because they say its really a one way

but according to your link, it seems perfectly within the rules

Interesting. Though wonder if having a second OJ makes any difference?

How do they say its a OW, if 1) you have a stopover and 2) theyre charging for both legs?

ETA: Some agents claim the OJ must be in the same region.

Ok, so if I want to do CLE-ORD-LHR (layover<24hr) LHR-BCN (stopover) BCN-VNC (destination) VNC-CDG (stopover) CDG-YYZ-CLE. Any way I could do this (w/i the rules) of either AA or United? If I use a different airport for either BCN/VNC/CDG would it help?

Thanks for the explanations AJK.

No way.

You're trying to do this as a one way?

And then this as the other one-way?

Cannot do it on AA as you're attempting to stop in a city which is NOT the N.A. gateway city.

You can't do this on UA because you're attempting to traverse the atlantic four times on a round-trip.

I don't care how many times you HUCA - I don't believe that'll get ticketed.

I know they have liberal routing rules (and YQ on a lot of partners) but this liberal?

Im guessing he means VCE (Venice, Italy), not VNC (Venice, Florida, United States).

Aeroplan allows 2 stopovers.
