This is just a rare exception. My guess with no data whatsoever to support it is that it was Qatar's decision.

AA Advantage Award Ticket Question
Hi all, on the search tool for award tickets I'm looking for a particular routing but online prices it up as two seperate tickets. What I'm looking for is SEA-LAX-AUS-LHR (First Saver) award.
If I ring AA would they be able to manually book the itinerary for 85K instead of 85K & 25K?

Not all routings between any two airports can be had as one award. Does BA publish a thru-fare for SEA-LHR that allows SEA-LAX-AUS-LHR? That look circuitous to me when BA has a non-stop SEA-LHR.

The MPM for SEA-LHR is 5751 mi. . The distance for that routing is 7,110 mi.
AAdvantage does have rules about most direct routing , though on partners does seem to defer to MPM . GIven that this is 24% over the MPM, doesn't seem too surprising that it is being rejected

Just received a change-notification from myflights app that
DEL - AUH (EY F)
AUH - LHR (EY F)
LHR - VIE (BA C)
has been downgraded to Economy on all sectors. Altough no change in the seat reservations i have done already on the EY legs.
Booking on AA still says First / Business, on EY it's Economy.
Should i be concerned or wait a few days? Departure in 4 Month.
