So what is the rule on doing
SYD-(BA)-LHR-(AA)-LAX-(QF)-AKL with no stopovers?
Would you only get charged the SYD-AKL mileage?</font>
Not quite. You would be charged the greater of SYD-LHR or LHR-AKL. The open-jaw rule is that the charge is for the longest leg (unless this is a QF award in which case it is computed back to point of origin SYD).
