The points from the r/t journey credited to AA will provide almost enough miles for a business class r/t journey from Europe to Australia - purchases the remaining miles needed would be lower than the fuel fines that QF would apply
This would seem to be throwing good miles after bad.
If desperate for OWE status , would do better imo just doing some other travel in the year and credit to AA and then collect the 8 systemwide upgrades from AA too
Looking at mileage earning , assuming starting with zero SCs currently then the mileage earning from the trip would be 63,584 ( if the person has done enough to meet 4 flights requirement would get another 4046) .
Crediting to AA nets around 100,000 AA miles
