You can however still book this using AA miles all on the same PNR; DFW-DOH for 70k plus DOH-ATH for 42.5k, for a total of 112.5k miles each way. You must search using multi-city at aa.com to piece it together, or just call AA. Sometimes multi-city can be wonky, so if it doesn't work and you have to call then I recommend putting DFW-DOH on hold at aa.com then call and ask to add the DOH-ATH segment.
Yeah, I tried the multi-city booking which came up as 112.5k miles, but I'm not keen on paying 42.5k miles for a four hour flight, especially since AA charges 75k for US-DOH-JNB! Thank you both for the responses!
