So one of those three will have to become a transit.
From a true FTer point of view however:
- you are throwing away one segment - you are allowed 16 and you are using only 15, how wasteful!
- you have a tiny little flight DOH-DXB! Why not BOM-AMM/HEL/LHR-DXB? ("/" means "or")
Well ...
DOH-DXB will be in F on a J ticket. The other routings would not be. Depending on the airmiles scheme this can be more valuable than the actual distance, particularly in comparison with AMM-DXB.
HEL-DXB is (on some days of the week) a seven hour night flight operated in a Euro short haul config. It should be avoided at all costs.
LHR-DXB may incur an additional fuel surcharge, depending on who is plating the ticket.
