I think flyhurl's itinerary is ending in OSL and they are already partially though it.

After reading through most? of this thread. I think I want to use QR for some flights.

For example, OSL DFW. To use the OneWorld RTW too,l how do you get routing through DOH??

Agree that I like to play with the tool, then call AA RTW desk when I only have a couple of options to price.

I am in the middle of one RTW but playing with the tool see what I might want to do at the end of this one in OSL.
You have to force it most of the time, so you'd put in DFW-DOH and DOH-OSL separately but have your departure date the same date as arrival (or less than 24 hours), that usually works in the OW tool.

It tends to throw errors before ticketing if you do that with certain airlines, but many of them will work, and you should at least be able to get availability that way if nothing else. But QR most definitely goes by married segment logic, and in the tool that will break a married segment. If there is no availability on the married segment then you still can't book it, you need Expertflyer to check that. (Enter DFW-OSL, with connection in DOH), you need D on that, it doesn't matter if DFW-DOH and DOH-OSL have it separately. If there's no married segment availability then you need over 24 hours in DOH to break it.
