Yeah, I see. don't know how that happened; it was 16 when I first constructed it. Must have been some of the changes I made along the way. OK, I'll have to rework that down to 16.
Edited to add: Done. Changed DFW-SEA-LAX to DFW-LAX.

Great idea!! I don't need that stop.

Hmmm. I did it that way to bring the itinerary within §3.2.2, as in Africa-Middle East (transfer)-Asia (stop)-N.A. (stop)-Europe-Middle East-Africa.
If I skip DOH at the start, then I'm stuck with §3.2.3, which means no flown sectors between Europe and M.E.; so I'd have to fly N.A.-M.E. at the end, right? That seems to cost me the 12K bonus on my TATL (which I would have done with BA or AA) as well as the TATL F cabin (no TATL F on QR) if I try to do this in F.
There are far greater minds on FT at this than mine, -- thank you for continued assistance!!
