So, if I want a 24 segment oneworld award using American Airlines miles, all I have to do is ask AA to handwrite the ticket or transfer the booking to a Sabre equipped travel agent? If so, I must have misconstrued the previous flyertalk discussions about this limit and will certainly change the sticky as soon as this ticketing possibility is confirmed.
