You also need to use 2 OW carriers, not including AY in this case and if also AY then min. 3 diff. carriers in total.
Before getting too excited about this kind of pure oneworld award, it is good to note the specific rules for
AY oneworld awards:
You may travel within a continent. Backtracking limitations exist: you must travel from continent to continent in a continuous westward or eastward direction, crossing the Atlantic and Pacific oceans once only.
I.e. with OW award it is possible to travel eg. GVA-HEL-JFK-HKG-ZRH, but not eg. GVA-HEL-JFK-LHR-GVA. Of course the previous one would be a lot more interesting option.
