I was going to post once I received the tickets. Today is Thursday.
Credit card charge is pending. Original call was Monday. Repriced and paid on Tuesday.
Full itinerary is in aa.com with different booking codes for other airlines.
But I have not received any email from aa.

This is my first xONEx.

Almost embarrassing since I did not think to select for YQ.
Departure in 2025 with everything but the start date off the calendar (just dummy dates).

I am posting the first DONE3 (x2) itinerary that I picked starting with QR and also the change to RJ which brought the base fare back down to 130,000 EGP - since both were legal. We're doing it over five-six months and we'll be adding separate flights in Asia and from ANC, maybe from HNL as well.
Awesome ideas/suggestions welcome.

CAI xDOH QR (changed to CAI xAMM RJ)
xDOH HKT QR (changed to xAMM BKK RJ)

HKT HKG CX (changed to BKK HKG with CX)
HKG DPS CX
DPS KUL MH
KUL NRT JL

NRT HNL JL
HNL ANC AS
ANC LAX AS
LAX SJO AA
SJO DFW AA
DFW SFO AA
SFO MIA AA

MIA DOH QR
DOH AMM QR
AMM CAI RJ

I'm likely crediting to BAEC. Both itineraries earn 1,560 TP. Fare was just under $4,300 USD or lots and lots of CAD.

After submitting the initial QR start and seeing the price, I called back and asked to change to RJ and to submit for a reprice. Agent said that changes like that won't change the ticket price but she obliged anyway since I am so charming.

Lots of fun experimenting and booking.

I'm thinking about another xONEx starting next month since I have travel from Europe to NA in April and then from NA to ME in August. Likely I'll book directly with the OW tool since my dates will all be on the calendar so (hopefully) no need to call the dreaded QF number for changes. And I want to make it a bit crazy. If the base fare is still there, I'll book it up once I've figured it out.
insert maniacal laugh here
