If I included NAN in between AKL & SYD could I get away with an exp34 - I have trouble working it out on the map due to the surface sector?
The trip is not a status or milage run just a well deserved break from working to hard although I would like to maximise what I can.
Regarding AA I would prefer to ticket with BA but have hit nothing but brick walls with them and am only turning to AA out of desperation - I dont want to take advantage or wreck the service for others.
In WAW both AA and CX are handled by the same GSA maybe I should ask him to ticket on CX?
Thanks for your advice and will follow-up on my progress (which in itself feels like a RTW trip)

HI Johnny... Sorry the above routing exceeds by 64miles (34,064) to rule out the Global Explorer. You would need the Oneworld explorer for that. Even though you are not flying between BKK and TLV, the mileage between them is still counted. BTW you do know that the fares ex-WAW are priced in USD?
Very simple with BA. Book with BA at wherever you are.. and just get the record locator. Then call BA in WAW and ask them to price the ticket for you to issue the ticket in WAW by xxx day.
If you still have problems, you would then need to cancel the entire reservation with BA and book a fresh booking with the airline that is going to issue you the ticket.. ie CX. By the looks of your routing, AA will absolutely not calculate the fare for you hence you will not be able to issue the ticket with them. Actually come to think of it, I don't think CX will issue you the ticket either as the only segments you have with them are NRT-HKG-BKK.
