In XONEX product, only restriction about stopover is maximum 2 stop over within the continent of origin (and subtle restriction within the country of origin).

58,632 miles for 33,016ZAR ^^^
Since some of the airlines Qatar/Sri Lankan/JAL only earn 0.5, I try to change it to business. But I couldn't get to and from anc in biz, i am sure the via dfw is fine. How could I resolve this, or is there another place I should go instead?

On most of its intra-USA routes, AA has First and Coach (Economy) and no Business. In such cases, the fare rules explicitly allow the use of First class when on a Business class OneWorld Explorer

Sadly there is no flight to and from ANC, when i change my flight to biz I was told the flight is not available and try alot of dates.
Even when I choose First, the fights to and from ANC is still not available, but I havent tried as much dates as the biz flight.

Is there anyway I can manually get some flights in econ (not the automatic upgrade/downgrade)? Seriously, I don't mind the downgrade to econ, as long as i can fly to ANC

Take for example the AA DFW-ANC summer flights. If booking a business class trip, the tool will see that no D is sold on the flight and that A is allowed under the fare rules, so it will look at A availability on the selected date. If A is not available, it will show L. If L is not available, it will not show the flight.
DFW-ANC is only operated from mid June to end Sep.

You got a real good deal for DONE5. That looks more like the base fare for DONE4.
Thanks for posting ex-NRT fares, Safe travel, enjoy the islands.

From my spreadsheet at the time
ex-CPT in ZAR
LONE4/5/6 21,160 25,000 29,400
DONE4/5/6 58,940 67,880 80,500
Which is why I was confused by your post that the DONE5 was 77,424ZAR in Q1 2015

I created a spreadsheet of ex-Sth Africa L and D fares for my own use in planning my trip - I got the base fares from ExpertFlyer and typed the numbers into the spreadsheet
Very low tech I'm afraid
I do however have PDFs of all xONEx and xGLOBnn fares - from March 2012

Rats. A live spreadsheet like the one Sagy used to make available would be incredibly helpful, especially now that they're repricing so often (regularly?) to account for currency rate fluctuations. The lessons of Myanmar....

You can pay for a DONEx and have them issue particular segments in economy, that is not a problem. If you are flying with children on some half-arsed airline with their head up their backside, such as Lan Chile, you will have to do this.

I note you've asked this question twice, and I don't see that it's been answered. I'm 99.9% positive you have to pick one program since it's one ticket. Any confirmation or correction from you more knowledgeable oneworld gurus?

You can change the program used in a booking whenever you want up until departure of each flight.

No. Every flight can be credited to a different FFP if you want to.
