I had to call again and explain, and the extra flights were removed. In your case, the complicating factor is that if an agent removed the MAA-DOH leg from the record, good luck trying to get QR to release award availability back to AA to rebook. Maybe AA has a tighter partnership with BA and you could ask for MAA-LHR-AUS??

I hope someone else has better advice, because this is one of my nightmare scenarios.
They've put it back on On Request to re-issue the ticket. QR can see the segment now, but they are saying it's unconfirmed. I booked a backup MAA-HKG-SFO-DFW award ticket in case this doesn't pan out. Ideally MAA-LHR-AUS would be my option.
