I am also curious if anyone can offer more complex routings on bulk/consolidator fares for AA LPs or UA PQPs, or are these opportunities only viable on published fares for credit to partner airlines?

AA Vacations is definitely an option as mentioned, and there is a current promotion for USD 200 off USD 2000 until August 06, 2022.

Consolidator fares can be explored, but caveat emptor since some channels tack on fees (e.g. extra fees to change). Also they tend to offer less discounts the more complex they get.
However if all you want is the opaqueness, then it might be possible.
I'm curious where the true GDS and airline systems die or break when marrying inventory to price this.

With Special fares on the AA R segments I'm getting about 83k total via the SYD route as an EXP assuming I'm actually calculating QF correctly this time, LOL.

Certainly could make it more interesting if that's an option, for myself the opaqueness would be the goal and any discount even if small is a bonus.

I looked for 5 min and saw some options that may be opaque on the UA side, but nothing obvious for the AA ones. Doesn't mean they aren't there... others will be better with opaque options than me.

There's nearly an identical fare CGK-JFK but I can't get it to work with SYD, just CGK-DOH-JFK and v.v.. It must be routed on QR and is noted as a transatlantic fare, prices at $2700 (US), I class fare.
Ever so slightly longer route than HND by a couple hundred miles. There's also a D fare for about $300 more if that earns a lot more miles for you.
You might get creative and route via another of QRs US gateways, I didn't try that. But pretty sure SYD doesn't work at all.

Anara is landside next to T3 if i remember correctly. T2 hotel is also landside. I wouldnt stay inside T3 for a long layover, and to be honest, im not even sure does CGK have international transit possibility.

Looking at this, seems like the only US gateway that AA is flying to TYO on AA metal is DFW-NRT on the 787. JL metal is better in my opinion, so for sure a downgrade. Only redeeming part would be if AA would upgauge to a 777 so you can use a SWU to upgrade to F.
Currently only seeing stuff out of LGA that will ticket. Trying to get get a JFK-LAX domestic segment to maximize EQM, but seems like this fare wont let it bounce around like before.

I think it may depend on when you're checking it. Currently AA isn't flying the LAX route, only NRT-DFW & v.v. So if this new fare has to be AA metal then DFW would be the only choice at the moment. Perhaps they're planning to reinstate the LAX route later? (Which would be quite nice)

I have booked more than one of these on the new fare through LAX so unless something has changed in the last few days I see no reason it wouldn't work.
