Hi - I had a question on AAdvantage awards (I couldn't find the answer elsewhere, but apologies if it has been asked).
For South Pacific-USA awards, do awards have to be booked on a direct flight (e.g. SYD-LAX) or if there is no availability, can an award for the same points be had SYD-HKG-LAX or SYD-NRT-LAX assuming the stopover in HKG or NRT is less than 24 hours? Or does the points cost increase to combine two flights?
I know when booking Europe flights I can cook a QF/BA combination via NRT/HKG for the same price as a QF 1/2 or BA 15/16 flight, but wanted to see if this applies for flights from South Pacific to USA via Asia?
Thanks in advance
