In another topic, someone mentioned that with the Oneworld awards, only the shortest distance between stopovers counts, (ie FCO-LON-MAD, only the distance FCO-MAD would count). Does this mean you could go from the US to JNB via HKG without a stopover and it would only count as the shortest (via Atlantic) distance? </font>
If you are talking about AA's multicarrier awards, I think it will be based on the route you take. If you take JFK-x/HKG-JNB (no stopover at HKG), then I assume it will be the distance between JFK-JNB over the Pacific.

If you fly BA via Atlantic, then it will be the distance JFK-JNB that counts, not JFK-LHR-JNB. If the xLHR designation is given, the stopover city will be ignored.

I think CX and BA's FFPs count miles via connecting cities regardless of whether you stop over or not. I hope I am wrong. I really wish.
