I'm hoping the resident xONEx experts will have some input in maximizing this ex-AMM DONE4 I've come up with. Positioning flights to AMM are not much of an issue as I am in BOM once every 12-15 months and BOM-AMM is a cheap 5 hour hop on Royal Jordanian.

AMM-xLHR-SYD-xNRT-DEL-xHKG-BOM-xHKG-JFK-xYVR-xDFW-xSJU-xDFW-xLAX-LHR-xMCT-AMM
(57447 Miles; 1840 SC's - 1800 + 40(DFW-LAX books in F) around 49k miles and 1720/1760 SC's if I credit HKG-JFK to AA for Plat Challenge)

The locations in bold are where I will definitely break the RTW. The idea is to combine a trip to Mumbai, hop over to Jordan to pick up the RTW and make my way back to Sydney using the first part of the DONE4, and continue from there.

On this DONE4 routing, I can make QF and AA Plat (by booking HKG-JFK on AA code share and signing up for a challenge). Though I'm wondering if there's any pro's or con's in gaining status on both QF and AA, besides the obvious fact of having status on both QF and AA!

Having checked at on the OneWorld booking tool, the ex-AMM ticket books on AA and comes in at just under 8000USD including taxes (which is consistent with ex-Jordan DONE4 + taxes).

Does anyone want to tweak this routing further to maximize SC's / Miles?

1. I could start the RTW in RUH (1400 more miles, 20 more SC's);cheaper & more miles - not to mention BOM-RUH is 50% cheaper than BOM-AMM. but the first flight is then on BA and I'm not sure how much YQ + taxes differ between AA and BA; not sure how that compares with the final price vis-a-vis ex-AMM

2. Does Qantas still fly between PER and NRT? (Search for random dates on QF.com seems to suggest otherwise!). If so, I could fly SYD-PER-NRT and drop the last leg, thus ending in MCT instead of AMM (doesn't change the SC's but nets 600 or so more miles)
