Booked the following through the AA RTW desk. Very helpful staff, easy process after I worked through stingy BA LHR-MLE inventory, actively avoided OSL-DOH-MLE in January 2027 due to the gulf conflict, and had them correct an error in pricing.
OSL-LHR-KUL-MLE-KUL-MNL-HKG-SFO-JFK-GRU-xDFW-SFO-DOH-SEZ-xDOH-OSL
When this was first sent to pricing, they rated this route as a DONE6. I called to point out the error and the agent sent it back to pricing for correction to a DONE5. The agents were perplexed, when they look at the fare class on their screen it always shows as a DONE6, and that is clearly wrong. They mentioned the pricing group should have caught this error the first time.
Total cost for 2 pax - $18,760 USD (base fare $6,777 each, taxes and fees $1077, carrier fees $1526). It is optimized for my AY program to retain OWE.
If BA ever opens up some more January D class on LHR-MLE I will look into changing the ticket to OSL-LHR-MLE-KUL… as it is more efficient and frees up two segments for SFO-ANC-SFO. But BA seems to only release two seats 330 days in advance for January, and it is literally impossible to have that as the second segment on a DONE before they sell out, because you need some time to fit in the rest of your itinerary as dummy segments, sigh.

Reason: Corrected accounting of taxes and carrier fees
