I am doing DXB because I want to visit there. With my current ticket, The destinations which are optional to me are NRT (been too many times recently) and HKG. HKG is only there so I can book a side trip to PVG easier.

How would you suggest I route to maximise miles/status? Assuming I want to keep all the locations that are currently in there except for NRT and HKG? That leaves two wild cards I am open to.

I am correct in assuming then that I can by extra segments within a continent as long as it doesn't go over 16 segments overall then?
Will it be cheaper for me to book by doing it through AA RTW desk (and paying in AUD) or should I just book it through the OneWorld planner?
