One Way Award Tickets?

Other than BA do you know of any other airlines where you can redeem one way award tickets for one half of the round trip award number of miles?

Push "search". Then, type in "One Way Mileage Award" or something similar.

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!

WN

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).

I have to concur with the OP when it comes to finding the topic even though I know I have seen it before and I am a bit more savvy on how to look, etc. Not to name names, but I wish people could just be helpful if they know things instead of telling someone to basically go stuff it.

Anyway, here is what I found upon doing what you say above. there are over 500 threads and 20 pages in the search, with this one included due to its title:

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