• You can use Saver Awards to fly United-, United Express-operated flights and Star Alliance partners.
• You must fly the most direct route from origin to destination. That means no stopovers. You can, however, make connections. Tip: If you want to visit multiple cities, you can use multiple One-Way Awards to create your itinerary.
• You can change your award ticket at any time or get a refund before you travel, but know that you may be charged a fee.
American added this customer-friendly feature this past May. Other legacy carriers do offer one-way frequent-flier awards, though they still require the same amount of miles that are required for round-trip rewards. Some low-cost carriers – such as Southwest and AirTran – have long offered one-way award travel for half the credit needed for a round-trip award ticket.

You'll be able to mix and match different award levels when booking a roundtrip award ticket.
United also unveiled a "Miles & Money" frequent flyer award that lets customers redeem a combination of cash and miles for an award ticket.
