The tip to call in worked great. The ticket is on hold pending fare validation and tax calculation and I'm off to get a travel vaccine consultation in the morning. Other than one segment where I couldn't get exactly what I wanted, the agent did great.

SFO-LAX-AKL/AKL-BNE-CNS/CNS-SYD/SYD-JNB/JNB-LHR-MAD/MAD-EZE/EZE-JFK/JFK-SFO. The one world explorer page couldn't book the Compass flights to LAX so it kept wanting me to fly SFO-PHX-LAX or even SFO-DFW-LAX, but the agent got me a Compass flight with plenty of time to eat dinner and enjoy a lounge at LAX even if there are some delays that day. The routing via LHR is strictly to get an A380 segment.

The only thing I couldn't seem to work out was getting to CNS by going AKL-SYD-CNS on the LATAM flight in the morning. Since that's a 787-900 it would have been interesting to compare with the AA 787-800 trip. I know I can have them try again after it's ticketed. EF shows D inventory so I don't know what the issue was.
