I am thinking that you priced the xONEx fares based on AA.
The prices listed in EF for QR are sometimes quite a bit less expensive.
In particular, for India and South Africa.
I know who I would be choosing if I were to consider more wandering

So no opportunities to take advantage of the Iranian currency's collapse.
(Unlike when the Egyptian Pound was severely devalued back in early 2024 (that led to a feeding-frenzy - which I was part of
)

According to ExpertFlyer, the underlying base fares for Oneworld Explorers are quoted in the GDS in USD

All flights exist?

MEL-PPP is flown by Jetstar JQ and not QF. So the JQ operated ~ QF codeshare exemption as post 3217 above needed.

(b) Travel must be in a continuous forward direction between TC1 - TC2 - TC3. Backtracking within a continent is permitted except as follows:
