Great idea re purchasing LHR-DUB or some internal US flight separately, thanks.
How are you getting from Brisbane to Manila? On QF via Sydney? (or are you going to MEL?).
IIRC, you're only allowed 2 stopovers in the continent of origin - are ADL, BNE and then BNE again all stopovers?
Be careful about buying segments in the US - depending on how the itinerary works out, you may want to avoid having to buy a one-way segment (don't assume it's just half of a round trip fare ...), particularly if it involves DFW. Currently, cheapest one way fare on AA ORD-LEX is $151, for LEX-DFW it's $383.
