I can get prices for both these trips in business class but the trip starting in OSL is 14,000SEK cheaper (1350US$).
OSL-AKL via HEL and DOH, CHC-NAN, NAN-LAX, LAX-HEL, HEL-OSL
or
ARN-AKL via DOH, CHC-NAN, NAN-LAX, LAX-HEL, HEL-DOH, DOH-ARN
I’m reliant on finding a working itinerary on the Oneworld site because I don’t think I can book through AA or BA when I am avoiding their flights and a local travel agent can’t match the Oneworld price.
But any input on how I can get around this is welcome.
BTW, you don't have to do OSL-HEL-DOH+, just the OW tool won't allow you to go OSL-DOH because for whatever reason it can't book the first segment on QR. If you book with AA, BA, or a travel agent then you can drop the HEL transit and open up one more segment in Europe for later.
