Okay, I talked very briefly to the BA RTW desk today to get the scoop on prices. Here's what I'm thinking now for business class OWE4:
ATL-DFW-SFO (AA)
SFO-LAX-SYD (AA with codeshare on QF metal)
SYD-AKL (QF)
AKL-CHC (QF)
CHC-ZQN (QF)
ZQN-SYD-JNB (QF)
JNB-CPT (BA/Comair)
CPT-LHR-GNV (BA)
(overland to Berlin)
TXL-LHR-YYZ-ORD-ATL (Mix of BA and AA and AA codeshare)
I think that works out to a OWE4. I'll do the Platinum challenge on AA and hopefully, how it shakes out, I'll have enough miles for a business class trip to SE Asia next Christmas.
