Price is around EUR 8,200 incl. carrier surcharges. With a GCM distance of 42,281 miles, that around 19 cents per mile.

I have bolded all stopovers (more than 24 hours).
Availability in D seems to be only an issue for HNL-HND. Business has availability, but one has to search through multiple days before finding it.



How much is the AA service fee for changing days (not cities)?

One more question -> to which Oneworld FFP should I credit the flights? You get this question quite often. BA Avios seems to require 4 segments on BA. Currently, they are 0 segments on BA. AA seems to require a spending of at least USD 12k to achieve status.
AA rtw desk does not charge for date changes.

BA requires two flights for bronze (only real benefit is seat selection at 7 days) or 4 for silver and gold. BA marketed or operated flights count, as do IB marketed and operated flights. See: https://www.flyertalk.com/forum/brit...l#post31904769
If you are based in Europe then I would consider flying a few BA flights.
Otherwise, see this thread:
