Didn't maximise my US segments as I only have two weeks to do New Calendonia and Hawaii, didn't want to do too many other cities, plus I wanted to have the 15 hour QSuite from DOH...
Good news: Fairly simple to ticket and pay, and by reducing my UK time to less than 24 hours my taxes were kept low.
Bad news: The continued disconnect between ExpertFlyer and AA desk availability gets worse. In this case my trouble was the CX HKG-LHR segments.
This is my back-up routing after it became clear that Fiji/Oman weren't going to be joining oneworld anytime soon:
2025 DONEx - Using Fiji Airlines and Oman... planning / OW joining implications?
Can I just check/confirm, a stopover in London (which may include an overnight stay) for less than 24 hours avoids UK Air Passenger Duty?
