Well you have been busy while I've been sleeping

Sorry you're having so much trouble with QF. Being Aussie, I feel guilty by association!

With ticket 1, I originally had mnl-nrt-san instead of mnl-hkg-lax but none of the QF agents were able to find the JL flight.
Ticket 2 is definitely invalid - too many segments in North America, you are allowed a maximum of six there (four for the other continents)

For NRT-SAN feed the agent the actual flight number - JL66. If that still doesn't work then get the agent to look for the AA codeshare on that flight AA8480

Back on hold for sup...
My ex-MPM DONE5 is ticketed by Qantas (through a travel agent, not with QF direct, but that shouldn't matter)
PM me if you need anything from me

That number makes me think they are pricing it under the old rule
When travel originates in a country for which a specific local currency fares is published and the ticket is sold in
another country, the fare will be that published for the country of origin converted to the currency of the country of sale
at the bank selling rate. The resultant fare must not be lower than from the country of sale.
Exception: Not applicable when BOTH travel originates and sales are made within Europe
.
The words I've highlighted were removed in the version of the rules published on April 22nd
Stick at it. And good luck!
