OSL-QR-DOH-QR-DUB-QR-xDOH-QR-GRU / SCL-QF-SYD-AA-ZQN / CHC-AA-xSYD-BA-HKG-CX-HKT-CX-HKG-AA-SIN-AA-xHND-BA-xLHR-AA-OSL
AY earns the most on AA,BA,IB, which I've chosen where possible, but unsure if this is feasible on all these flights or if I am being overly ambitious. Also reading that issuing it on QR via Sabre would avoid other carriers' surcharges, how easy is it to find a TA that can do that? Open to suggestions on how to tweak the itinerary if necessary. Thanks all in advance.
ZQN CHC by land is a waste of a segment. Is counted in the 16 allowable. Note CX fly AKL-HKG and CHC-HKG seasonably (summer).
Have you checked code shares are all available on the routes listed?
Example SYD-(BA)-HKG which is flown by QF and CX, but not BA. SYD-HKG CX110 does as AY5092, BA4132, OM5604
