american allows you to use aadvantage miles to book one way tickets on tam (brazilian) airlines. they are 10,000 miles each way. this is good value as all destinations in brazil are included.

I should point out that this is for flights within South America/Brazil only...let's not get everyone's hopes up that NYC-GRU could be 10,000 miles one way!

Although NW doesn't have one-way awards, they are unique in that they'll allow you to pair one direction that has a standard award seat with one that does not, resulting in a 37,500 mile award (in the case of a domestic U.S. coach ticket).

Incidentally, if you fly between islands in Hawaii, those can be one way awards on some partners with the local area airlines. Good luck!
