For example you could stay in orbit within the UK for a week without having a stopover, just fly within 24 hours on routings like LHR-MAN-EDI-LGW (routes having frequent service). Even without such gyrations it is easy to construct some very useful routings. An interesting sidelight to this fare is that QF and BA greatly expanded their codeshares in North America on AA flights, and some of these new codeshares made little sense except they serve to connect QF and BA metal endpoints (like HNL to YYZ). So the inclusion of codeshares would seem to be a marketing plan and not accidental. Too bad that there isn't a J version of this fare offered, in some ways it is better than OWE.
I wonder for mileage run, what sorts of itinerary could be possible. I couldnt care less about J class, having been used to travelling in economy. For me, I would be keen on jfk, madrid, london, singapore. All else is bonus. If Mumbai can be drawn in, that too would be bonus but I would prefer it only if it is in addition to singapore.
I note 7 stops including turnaround point. If itinerary could be done for this fare, I would then work out if my kids can join me on tickets using QF ff points...142500 points each for up to 35,000 miles.
