Stopovers are marked as such, all other connections are under 24h, no connection is longer than 6h except for 13h at JFK.
OSL-HEL-LHR-BHD
stopover, overland segment
LHR-DOH-SIN
stopover
SIN-SYD-ZQN
stopover, overland segment
AKL-SYD-HNL
stopover
HNL-LAX-JFK-LHR
stopover
LHR-OSL.
It definitely passes the DGLOB34 mileage test at 29,619 and is 15 segments. I don't see how it fails a DONE4 test but am going snowblind.
Some will say book with AA - they had a technical issue every time I called meaning Qantas legs were not showing at all.
Thanks in advance.
Well, it fails a DONEx test as you have three stopovers in your continent of origin; two in LHR and your surface segment is also a stopover.
In your post in the other thread about your LHR-(DOH)-SIN transit being called a stopover in DOH, have you checked availability for LHR-(DOH)-SIN and checked availability for LHR-DOH and DOH-SIN separately? QR uses a lot of married segments but they also have been using unmarried segments when you can only book the through route as if you are stopping in DOH and starting again. There are a few threads in the QR forum about this and it has come up in the AA forum in regard to award tickets. Not saying it is this but you often find unequal availability for these segments depending upon how you search. It may just be a general unfamiliarity with these tickets by whoever you are talking to at BA.
