You exceed 25% of MPM from SYD-NRT

MPM + 25% = 7,293 < 7,724

I've seen this before. SYD-SIN-KUL-NRT 1 ticket, add SYD-MEL and it becomes 2 (MPM-independently).
Can't do SYD-SIN?

lincoln boy

understood. thank you for the clear and concise answer.

lincoln boy

There are many MEL-SIN F availability but not SYD-SIN so that's the only reason why I am thinking about booking MEL-SIN. I tried MEL-SIN-KUL-NRT but did not work.

I bet it would work if they are all in business class.

Does anyone know MPM of ORD-BKK? Thanks!

tried MEL-SIN-KUL-NRT in coach but priced as 67,500 miles. so this itinerary is still priced as two awards.

Great Circle Map has 8562 miles. (At 350° heading almost over the north pole)

But AAdvantage may have a different distance

AA requires routing via Pacific, so 10,353.

NRT-KUL-SYD
NRT-KUL is on JAL
KUL-SYF is on MH
why priced as 2 awards? not published route?

IamHungry

I tired putting this route in ITA matrix and QF does have a published rule for
MEL-SIN First QF
SIN-KUL Biz MH
KUL-NRT First MH

lincoln boy

weird... so should be able to book this ticket, correct?

IamHungry

I assume so. Why don't you call aussie call center for booking?

lincoln boy

Aussie call center! that's a good idea. I will report back!

A couple of quick questions as I start figuring out the full list of options for some business awards, US west coast to India that I will be booking in early 2019 for 330 days out (or whatever it is in advance that we can book). I know I can use CX and LAX-HKG will wind up having decent availability, but we'll be coming back via the pacific on revenue tickets so I thought it would be fun to go via the Atlantic on the way over. In reading the various AA rules, it looks like NA to India is permitted via 3rd region, allowing transit in EU or ME. That means BA, QR, RJ flights ex-US, and QR is definitely one of my preferences.

But I see that AA has US-India fares (via the Atlantic) that are quite permissive and other than requiring AA across the water, they permit unlimited transfers and really only preclude a small number of non OW alliance carriers. My sense is that these would enable US-EU on AA and then potentially a mix of other carriers from there. For instance, Clearly LAX-LHR(AA)-CMB(UL)-BOM(UL) would work. But how about LAX-LHR(AA)-DOH(QR)-BOM(QR)? That is technically transiting a fourth region... would that be allowed? If so it would enable a range of RJ, QR and EY connections from various AA gateways in Europe.

Has anyone chased any of these options down or is transiting in both the EU and ME not permitted?

BTW- The revenue fare in question I reference above is
