I have a few questions for the BA resident experts. I have miles across AA and BA, and could use either to book travel, but with BA's liberal stopover policy, I might be inclined to book with BA. I am looking to book a one way ticket. So here are my questions:

1. I would like to fly Royal Jordanian business class from ORD to AMM, and stopover in AMM for 4-5 days, and then continue onward to HKG using RJ as well. Would such a stop over be permitted?

2. How many miles would be required to fly this route (ORD-AMM-HKG)?
Would the mileage be based on a ticket originating in North America and going to Far East, for a total of 60k miles? OR would I have to purchase two segments? One from North America to Middle East/Central Asia, and then a second from Middle East/Central Asia to Hong Kong?

Thanks in advance to anyone who is able to answer my questions.

Probably not. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I assume you'd fly westbound to AMM but eastbound to HKG.

BA's rule is
As seperate Legs, ORD-AMM on RJ in C is 80k.
AMM-HKG on RJ in C is 60k
ORD-HKG on CX in C is 50k (shockingly cheap imho!)

Stopover will force you to purchase two awards, one for ORD-AMM, and another for AMM-HKG.

For the record, I booked the following

ATL - ORD First
ORD - AMM Business
This segment was 67,500 miles

Then did

AMM - BKK Business
BKK- HKG Business
This segment was only 30,000 miles!!! Talk about an incredible deal

Ooops....forgot to mention that this was on AA not using BAEC
