I have not used oneworld award long enough, maybe there used to be 'manual ticketing' in the past, but from my interaction with agents in the past few months, there seems to be a 'system' to check if all the rules apply. I've heard agents saying 'let me put the itinerary into the system to see if it's valid'.

Quick questions to all of you that have used this multiple times: how did you accrue so many asian miles? and what do you plan to do now that they are depreciation post 9/30?
