Thanks.
AA allows max 24 hours on an itinerary for it to class as a stopover , however AA also requires that award flights comply with the rules for a published fare
The only permitted routing for KTA-DRW for QF's fares is KTA-PER-DRW
The only permitted routing for KTA-BNE for QF's fares is KTA-BNE-DRW
For travel via Perth , the maximum time allowed to connect is 12 hours by Qantas's fare rules
I think it hardly likely that AA will allow a 4200 mile trip from KTA to DRW as a single award ( KTA-DRW = 1095 miles; going via Perth is 2419 miles ; via Sydney is 4246 miles
If you want to visit Sydney, you are almost certainly going to have to use 2 awards
