Re: US Dividend Miles Buy/Gift Miles 100% bonus - Cheap way for F/J *A Awards
What about UA in F instead

Well I'm from the UK...and it is often referred to as the 51st!
I didn't take this as a literal conversation.

Struggling to use your Frequent Flyer Points?
Frequent Flyer Concierge takes the hard work out of finding award availability and redeeming your frequent flyer or credit card points for flights.
Using their expert knowledge and specialised tools, the Frequent Flyer Concierge team at Frequent Flyer Concierge will help you book a great trip that maximises the value for your points.
Is UA F worth the extra points over UA J? Surely you still get a flat bed (although it may be slightly bigger) and the same surly crew, average food, old plane, limited IFE options etc.

As seen on FT...an actual award chart is now available so no more random searching required to find miles quotes:
https://www.lifemiles.com/eng/inc/starredawards.aspx
Miles quoted are for roundtrips...no mention of stopovers.
Note that Oceania is in the 'Others' zone all on it's own...not sure why they didn't just call it Oceania!
didn't someone mention stopover will be constructed on a segment by segment basis (adding them together?)

Certainly through the online booking engine they are, but I think some are wondering if that also might hold true for bookings made over the phone.
Singapore is listed under South Asia on this chart, but the booking engine seem to be pricing it as Central Asia.
Australia to South Asia:
60,000
90,000
120,000
Australia to Central Asia:
60,000
90,000
120,000
So.....do you mean from another zone?
Edit: Yes I see what you mean....shhhhhhhhhh!
....and offers a saving on Aus-SIN-Europe with a SIN stopover.shh? This makes it useless for singapore-asia redemptions. try singapore-thailand. almost as many miles as australia-thailand.
So, in summary, stopovers are only free when booked through the call centre
Me thinks that's going to be a fun phone call!
They have ticketing offices all over North and South America. Assuming each ticketing office can book a LM redemption I would recommend calling the NYC office and hopefully you'll get through to a native English speaker.
Are we sure of this though and something hasn't been miscoded as Oceania?Note that Oceania is in the 'Others' zone all on it's own...not sure why they didn't just call it Oceania!
