are you sure it is OW Explorer, not "global" explorer?
there is no mileage limitation for OWE.
i also don't quite understand why you have to purchase bkk-syd, since you already are on a 4 continent OWE?
i believe you are on a different ticket, and it was not OW Explorer
also you can always jump the flight at ORD, i.e. throwing away your ORD-BOS coupon. of course the cost is giving up one stopover/segment -- which you did
------- i was confused when i saw OWExplorer, and forgot u mentioned AA OW award in the beginning...ingnore this
