Would the following itinerary be allowed?

MEL-YYZ, BUF-NYC-LAX-MEL
Sure, that's just an open jaw.

How you flying MEL-YYZ?

MEL-SFO-YYZ (OJ)
BUF-NYC (point of turnaround)
NYC-LAX (stopover)
LAX-MEL

Will that fly?

How long are you stopping in YYZ?

It looks more like YYZ is your destination (point of turnaround) OJ and NYC and LAX are two stopovers which won't be allowed.

As I mentioned earlier, its difficult to get the OJ with the stopover and they will consider it the point of turnaround.
Even if not, it will still be a stopover, which will make LAX stopover 2 which isn't allowed.

If you fly YYZ-NYC, Aeroplan will allow 2 stopovers.

You can try search online first, they have a pretty good search engine.
But yes, you'll probably have to call.

HI is not considered domestic for the purpose of awards, thus is entitled to a stopover on most airlines.

NP.
Also worth noting that intra-HI is also entitled to a stopover.

e.g.
HNL-OGG (stopover)
OGG-LIH (destination)
LIH-HNL (return to origin)
is only 10K with UA miles.

Then again with miles you pay for bags.  I'm also happy to book people from my HA corp account which waives all bag and standby fees.

No, not technically anyway.

But it's been done before.

Ok, I believe I confused myself on this one.
I'm pretty sure when originally making the wiki I had intended for the "Oneway" part to be for stopovers on a oneway. Somewhere in the middle I mixed it up with "Are oneways allowed?". So lets try to revert it to what it meant originally, which means there are 3 possible entries:

NA: Program doesn't allow oneway bookings
No: Program allows oneways, but doesn't allow a stopover on a oneway
Yes: Stopovers allowed on oneway bookings
