This is a very useful thread, thank you. Please can I check my understanding.

- I intend to book a DONE4 ex-OSL and credit to BAC to earn nTPs
- If I book by AA RTW desk (much the easiest) and therefore have an AA ticket, I will need to avoid AA/BA where possible or else be credited with nTPs on a revenue basis
- The only BA/AA leg I intend to have is MIA-LHR which I will book on BA metal as an AA codeshare
- That will give me the required AA flight that will allow me to book with the AA RTW desk
- For other flights, I will book AY, QR and JL thus attracting optimal distance based earning in D class at 50%. Plus a couple of flights on QF which are unavoidable in Australia domestically
- Alternatively I could book with another OW carrier (ex AA/BA/IB) and then AA flight(s) would provide distance based nTPs.
- If I did book with another OW carrier (ex AA/BA/IB), is there one you would recommend who has competence with RTW tickets? Or should I go to a TA?

For my journey, I estimate that will earn around 19,000 nTPs. This will (hopefully) bring me to BA GGLfL during the trip and I will then be free from needing to worry about nTPs and the new ridiculous thresholds.

Thank you for your help.
