* AKL-SYD-LAX-JFK not bookable as one ticket, but layover at LAX is < 24:00 (3:00)
** SJO-DFW-HEL not bookable as one ticket, but layover at DFW is < 24:00 (21:30)

Is it the tool? Do I have to call AA and feed every flight to an agent?
Any error (real or false) seems to give a "Global Explorer - mileage limit" message. As above to OW online tool is poor.
Guessing you have identified all those as non stop flights and having D availability.
Generally stop over vs transit mean little with these fares. Can effect real govt taxes
But airline married segments (~availability) can be a issue. Say ~10 years ago this was not an issue.

For oAKL - xSYD - xLAX* for also have MEL & BNE as an option. So oAKL - xSYD/MEL/BNE - xLAX*.
Also are BNE/SYD/MEL-DFW flights by AA(BNE), QF (SYD MEL)
AA fly AKL-DFW & AKL-LAX seasonably (southern summer)
Are other options for SJO : AS & AA. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Juan_S...tional_Airport
