Your question has been answered in post no. 553, two above this one.
With over 23,000 views (a lot for a Oneworld thread opened just a year ago) this thread gets plenty of traffic.
I'd recommend you review the FAQ threads in the various airline-specific forums to conclude which FFP works best for you.

Forgive the simple questions, but I've tried to follow the links to online itinerary tools, but all the ones I tried seem dead (not surprising as the posts are years old).
I'd like to fly from Dallas and visit Seoul and Tokyo in one trip. The order of the two Asian legs in not important, but would like to do a 3-4 day stopover in Seoul and then a couple weeks in Japan.
We'd like to do this in Business or First, it is a 'splurge' trip for us and would like to be pampered, but a very nice business class would be fine as it seems this varies by airline and we fly coach exclusively. We have about 150k AA miles each.
Can I do this on one reward, or will I have to buy/redeem the Seoul-Tokyo separate?
And what is a recommended carrier for comfort level- if there is a business that does a good bang for buck vs first class I would consider saving miles, but we would like to have something much nicer than just wider seats. Or is there a first class that is not to be missed? Where do I start looking to see what dates/classes are available?
Thank you!

This may be a better place for at least my root question: which is less risky for a Jan 4/5 flight:
BOS-IAD-BOG-SCL (on Avianca with only 55 minutes to switch over in Bogota). The Avianca website offers it, but I found the route to be on time only 72% of the time.
or
BOS-YYZ-SCL on Air Canada (10% price premium, I was only scared that YYZ might have some joint-noreaster, midwest, lake-effect etc. snow risk)
(All found with momondo.)
Should I just delete this?

BA lounge access for Sapphires?
I'm Oneworld Sapphire (AA Plat), and I'll be traveling from DFW to Europe in May on BA, using the 100,000 points I got with my Chase card! (Thanks, Flyertalk) Will I be able to get into the BA lounge at Heathrow during my layover?

Yes, you will have access to the BA Galleries Club lounge in T5. If your flight departs from T3 (very few destinations) then you have access to the BA Galleries Club lounge, the CX J lounge, and the Admirals Club.

Should have mentioned...
I should have mentioned that I'll be traveling in First on my award ticket to Heathrow, and maybe that will get me in the lounge door if the Sapphire One World status won't.

If you are traveling in BA First DFW-LHR connecting to intra-Europe J you will have access to the Concorde Room, which is significantly better than Galleries Club and also better than Galleries First. You can call You First a week or so before your flight and book your free massage or facial at the Elemis travel spa.

Seats and Discounted One World Tickets
I am traveling to/from Madrid with children on cheaper tickets booked on the AA website. (don't know the fare basis) For The segments on BA and IB, I am unable to get seats assigned. I am told that seats will only be assigned at the airport of the flight on the day of travel I was very surprised as I don't fly the One World airlines much. Any suggestion? There will be four children that will not like long flights away from parents or others they know. Thanks.
