does american airlines allow stopovers on award tickets

AAdvantage One-Way Flex Awards are a new way to use existing MileSAAver and AAnytime awards one-way. These new awards require half the round-trip mileage for each one-way award.
american airlines award tickets between North America and Europe, India, Asia, and Central / South America allow a stopover at the North American gateway. However, other one-way awards do not allow stopovers for international flights booked with miles.

For awards on AA or All-Partner awards, stop overs are allowed at the North American gateway from what I understand. So if you're flying MIA-ORD-DEL use AA miles, you can stop over at ORD. If your flight departs the US directly, like ORD-LHR-JNB, then no stop over is permitted since there is no North American gateway.
One-Way Flex Awards can be booked on AA.com or via AAdvantage Reservations. A 20 EUR Award Service Fee per person applies to AAdvantage award reservations ticketed by our reservations offices.To help you create your best award trip, we've enhanced the AAdvantage award booking tool on AA.com. Don't worry – we've kept all the features you've told us are important to you and that make award booking on AA.com easy.

The easy to read at-a-glance calendar now allows you to select different award types (MileSAAver or AAnytime) or classes of service for each portion of your trip.

Another AA.com enhancement allows customers to book award travel to more than one city in a single trip with the new multi-city award option.

And, you can also now travel into one city and depart from another.
