Looking for advice please
I have WAW-qr-DOH-qr-BKK-cx-HKG-cx-BNE in J
I think it should price as 60k, Australia desk is saying 75k.
QR ticket rules only allow WAW-DOH-HKG-BNE. However CX ticket rules only have a max miles and list of allowable airlines.
CX also allowing a very similar routing on the way there (priced correctly at 60k).
Most air time is on CX, only ocean crossing is also on CX, so shouldn't the CX rules apply? Which centre to call to get it manually priced as 60k?

QR announces it will bring A380 to the DOH-SYD route started in June, and may open up other Australian cities.
You may be better off use the DOH-SYD direct flight and just a QF SYD-BNE.

If I book AMS-LHR-AUH on EY but book up as follows
AMS-LHR Feb 17 (Stopover for 1 month)
LHR- AUH March 17
AUH-LHR March 17
Can I then call up in Feb 17 and move my LHR-AUH to a flight later on in the year to be used before March 18? Technically I have 1 year to fly the first segment and then 1 year to fly the rest of the ticket right?
Don't ask why I am planning on doing it this way.

JonNYC what are you thoughts on the above and the one below please?

Assuming that you are talking about award travel, you will have three one-way awards: AMS-LHR; LHR-AUH; and AUH-LHR. Date charges are free on each award; travel on each award must be completed within one year of award-ticket issuance.
Is that what you were asking, or do you want to know something else?

But since reward tickets have to be used within a year this won't work I guess.

Well basically I was hoping to pay 90k for this as one r/t journey (10+40+40) and use it like a revenue ticket which would have allowed outbound flight from AMS to LHR in Feb 17 and then I would have had a year to fly the rest of the flights.
But since reward tickets have to be used within a year this won't work I guess.

2 issues - one is that no stopovers are permitted on an AA award; the other is that your understanding of a revenue ticket is incorrect - where 1 year is permitted , travel must be completed within 1 year of the 1st flight in the itinerary. The date of the AMS-LHR sector would determine the latest date for the final flight in the itinerary. i.e. the AUH-LHR sector would have to be within 1 year of the date of the AMS-LHR flight in a r/t itinerary

Yes but since I am paying the extra 10k for the AMS-LHR award and 40k for the next flight so won't a stopover be allowed as I have paid the extra 10k. It should otherwise be 40k for this award. So in a r/t if AMS-LHR is in Feb 17 the LHR-AUH should be within 1yr of the first flight?
This would still not allow you to extend the return date until March 2018 as mentioned in post 1322
With an AA award ticket, AA's award rules are that the final date of travel must be no later than 1 year from date of ticket issue
If a ticket was issued today on 10th March 2016, the final date of travel would have to be no later than 10th March 2017
