The long legs are all in A class which is what matters most to me.

DXB is to get more miles and use the BA double Avios promotion … and that’s the bit of the routing i’m not sure about.
You have only used 12 segments. So 4 more available.
From info on wikepedia could do ORD-DFW-BUF instead of ORD-BUF. 802 + 1212 vs 474 miles.. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buffal...tional_Airport
QR flys DOH-(ADL)-AKL as QR914 - counts as 1 segment. So longer A class flight. 9032 vs 7687 miles. Surface segment AKL-WLG
But getting A class may be hard.
