Could be worse. And we knew it was coming after the general devaluation.

Yes, as well as Central America (and possibly South America, I didn't check that).

Maybe we can move this discussion to Singapore Airlines Thread
I am sometimes accused of overthinking things. I am still mulling over whether that accusation has merit.

I am attempting to book a one way on a partner airline (United to United), and pay $100 for a stopover. Phone agent is saying that the $100 stopover on a one way isn’t possible for partners. Has anyone had success recently? / Should I HUCA?

It's basically impossible to get them to let you do it with a partner award.

I’ve definitely had success in the past paying $100 for a second stopover on a RT partner award. Is your comment specifically about one way stopovers?
