AA Award redemption AMM-DOH-AUH-LHR
Dear all,
I'm trying to book an award ticket AMM-DOH-AUH-LHR in first class and was priced for 62,500 miles (25,000 for business in Middle East and 40,000 for First class to Europe) instead of 40,000 miles like I originally thought.
Is this because that I didn't take the most direct routing? I put 2 Etihad A380 ticket on hold so I have to fly AUH-LHR portion, but also need to get from AMM-AUH (Etihad showed no availability on this route).
Do I have an argument for first class trip originating from Middle East should be 40,000 miles? Or it's up to whatever the computer price it as?
Thanks!

That does seem to be a non direct routing
Did it come up in a search engine or did you manually enter it?
BA flies nonstop AMM-LHR
AMM-LHR is 2292 miles
AMM-DOH-AUH-LHR is 4679
As noted, there has to be a published fare for the routing

The fact that 2 different OneWorld carrier serve that route non-stop; BA and RJ could most definitely cause problems in getting this issued as desired even if there -is- a published fare that would allow it.

None of EY's fares allows travel to AMM via DOH to AUH enroute to London
