It does seem that <£GBP5k is possible ex Oslo. I calculate the "flown mileage" as 32092, which seems within rules. Questions: -
- Are the transits via Hong Kong permissible?
- The online tool only prices if Jakarta isn't included?
- AA seemingly has the best approach to booking RTW Fares in Business Class, will they have optimal access to D Class availability on the other carriers?
- I'm working on the basis that avoiding QF makes financial sense?
- I have AY & BA membership albeit basic, does it matter which FF programme is used to accrue Avios etc?
Are you looking to book a *ONE* or *GLOB*? -->

A *ONE* does not have a mileage limit so no such
thing as "

They very poor OW online tool can throw out a rubbish false error message for "exceeding distance" on a *ONE*. Just means maybe a error in the route..
Have you checked all those routes exist as non stops? ICN is code for Seoul

Airline ffp to credit to will need detailed calculation for status and avios earnings
*Book via AA RTW desk*, as have DFW-ICN on AA
