You could do BA to SYD on the one flight number as an alternative to QF if you wished.
Oh yes, to clarify that is what I plan. LHR->SYD on QF with a single flight number which the OW-RTW booking tool is showing as one segment. Quite a distance for one segment!
It is the segment from SYD-Tokyo where I am considering taking either QF or JAL.
According to the booking tool, the itinerary above is 16 sectors.
Thanks for the info about the bug. I may just end the trip in CAI then as a US$125 change fee x several tickets adds up.
