Wow - just spent a few hours reading this thread and LOTS of great info in here. I'm looking to book a DONE5 on very short notice (within the next week) and had wanted to start from CAI, but given the limited options out of BA and RJ may just start it from OSL. Priorities are:
  • get the QF nonstops SCL-SYD-JNB....because yes, I'm a nerd and want those lines on my map
  • squeeze in a DCA-EYW-DCA trip since buying that in business is ridiculous on its own
  • maybe a sidetrip on QF to NLK or AYQ?
Advice how to improve (and quickly ticket? I assume OW website is quickest - is there any way to guarantee AA tickets it?) this:

OSL-HEL
HEL-JFK-DCA
DCA-EYW-DCA
DCA-XXX-DCA (not sure where yet)
DCA-MIA-SCL
SCL-SYD
SYD-NLK-SYD
SYD-JNB
JNB-DOH-OSL

...looks like 15 segments so pretty much optimized, but would love advice...
