AAdvantage award: can I transit more than one third region?
The online search engine will not price these routes, so I suspect the answer is no, but...
Can I transit more than one third region on an AAdvantage award? I want to fly Europe to Australia. Can I transit both DOH and HKG? Looking at ATH-DOH-HKG-SYD, which I would prefer over the alternative of ATH-LHR-HKG-SYD. There's no availability DOH-SYD.

And check the Covid-19 transit rules. These are not the airlines problem or risk:- all your risk
When are you wanting to travel to SYD? Also try BNE, but not MEL
Today the AU government has announced more restrictions (~50% less flights-arrivals). QR has been a major source for entry into AU

"We also today a reduction in the number of inbound arrivals into Australia across those ports that are able to accept returning Australian citizens and residents," Mr Morrison said after National Cabinet met this morning."They will be cut by just over half across all the various ports that are taking those … residents returning to Australia."
Every state and territory will also begin charging people in mandatory quarantine.

Since international borders were closed in mid-March, more than 357,000 Australian citizens and permanent residents have returned amid the global coronavirus pandemic. Anyone returning has been forced into 14 days of mandatory hotel quarantine to slow the spread of coronavirus. The cost of the stay had been covered by the taxpayer - until now

On Friday, the Morrison government said that hotel bill would now fall on the return traveller, with each state and territory required to decide on a “charging system” for return travellers.
