Hi all, does the current version of the Oneworld online booking tool still ticket to the airline that operates the first sector (like previous versions)? First sector is CAI-AMM on RJ.
I find it interesting that I priced a DONE5 itinerary and it quoted me in $AUD. Yes, I'm based in Australia, but I was not logged in and approached the Oneworld site from no external links. Wondering if it has assigned QF by default as my ticketing airline.
Thx in advance.

It's hard to say what the tool is doing now since it doesn't seem that anyone can get it to work.

BUT is also counts as "touching" Asia, and so increases the continent count by one.
The relevant rule is:
"Travel between South West Pacific and Europe/Middle East on a single flight number/or by surface eg LON-SYD/MEL/PER vv, DOH-ADL/AKL/CBR/MEL/PER/SYD vv, is considered travelling via Asia. Continents South West Pacific, Asia and Europe/Middle East must each be counted."

BA codeshare on AA booking?
I'm booking a DONE4 with the AA desk. I wanted to use BA codeshare for a couple of flights on AA metal -- this would generate higher Avios for a BA exec card holder, and also help my wife to reach status (which requires paid BA tickets).
AA says this is not allowed and I must book using AA flight number for AA metal. Is that consistent with what others have found?

The Avios earnt for BA and AA numbered flights are now almost the same. In D class, it's 250%, and the only difference is the minimum earnt on shorter flights (500 on AA, 1250 on BA). I can't imagine it's worth fighting over.
You only need 4 BA operated/marketed sectors (or IB operated) in the membership year.

Further, some BA codeshares have only been bookable when combined with a BA marketed transatlantic flight.

AA are also refusing to book a QR metal flight DOH-LHR with a BA flight number -- they say it has to be booked as QR -- what do you think about that? Will HUACA get a different answer or is this policy too?
