Maximizing an AONE
 
Really just of academic interest but I'd be interested to know what people think are the maxima for an AONE of the following:

1) How many different oneworld longhaul F products can you fit in (different = different airlines, not BA old first / new first / A380 first)
2) As for 1 but starting in JNB
3) How many genuine F segments can you fit in (allowing multiple segments with the same airline)
4) As for 3 but starting in JNB

My best answers so far:

1- LON-> DOH (QR F) -> DXB -> SYD (QF F) -> HKG -> YVR (CX F)-> DFW (somehow) -> GRU (AA F) -> LON (BA F) which I think gets you 5 [but are you ok to backtrack to Asia from Syd?]

2- JNB -> LON (BA F) -> HKG (CX F)-> SYD -> LAX (QF F) -> SCL -> GRU -> DFW (AA F) -> DOH -> JNB

3 and 4 I'll leave to the board..

I'm in awe of your scheduling abilities! I was pretty sure I couldn't get all 7!!

Only thing I would say is that I think your second itin is invalid as I think you go via Europe twice which means your trip can't involve South Africa.

Of course you could fix by eg starting in Kenya for maximal segments but it wouldn't solve the ex jnb problem

????
Which selected flights have first class cabin ?

In JL's web page, you can not find F fare for those sectors.
