I don't think so. I think that the computer systems hold one frequent flyer number per itinerary, so you're left changing it at checkin or at the gate, segment by segment. I credit my AA flights to QRPC so that they're counted by mileage not revenue, and everything else to AA. For my RTW itineraries, I book them using the number I want to apply to the first flight, then change as I go along.

Any experiences with doing this? I'm looking at a DONE4 originating from NRT at present. First flight to KUL on Japan Airlines, but it could also be on Malaysian Airlines.
Am I likely to end up being ticketed with Qantas? If so (and this is problematic), any way to avoid it?
Why bother? If you modify, you are subject to a change fee and possible price increase. Why not just book it on the phone with an airline (I use the knowledgeable and friendly AA RTW desk) or a travel agent (but the T/A will charge a fee, of course)?

Two problems to watch out for. First, although they may tell you otherwise, few travel agents understand these tickets well enough to do them. And second, there will be a fee from travel agents.
