Yeah, I actually live in Japan so can enter as I please, I built one with a HND stopover for $100 extra, no issues at all on the AA fare.

Is this only good for tier maximizers / ba or can it be good for Alaska earners (100k level Alaska). I’ve been waiting all year for a decent British first route west coast to Europe or vice Versa or anything to earn bunch of elite miles comfortably. Is there anything with these oneworld itineraries here that has good AS earning?

If you want to maximize RDM then you maximize the Qantas segments.
If you instead want to maximize EQM then you maximize the AA marketed segments.
Avoid JL marketed segments this time.

Thank you very much Quail can you provide a sample or bookable itinerary any dates which maximize AS earning
(Commissions to TAs are very high on this fare so I've been rebating commission for these.. airline contracts prevent discussing %'s publicly so I'll DM you for this and finding something for your preferred dates.)

I think it is a good fare for AS 100k to re-qual if you can make the trip into a small vacation also. If it is just for purely MR then $3.1k for ~48k EQM is not a good deal.

Out of curiosity, are there viable opportunities on this fare or similar fares for those who credit to AA/UA due to LPs/PQPs?

You can see post #72 above for sample itinerary. Play with the date a little bit you can get those transcon segments in J instead of R.

Yes, because the QF segments are booked in C, this is still excellent for AA credit. Much better than booking the shorter route on JL as an I fare.
