Question about (AA) Oneworld awards...
i am thinking about redeeming a oneworld award (Distance Zone 3, Total Trip Miles = 4,001 - 9,000) from aa for 60k miles, but i wanted to know if all my flights have to connect. what i want to do is use the award for lots of small flights all over the world when i am there... for example:
adl-mel-syd-bne
bos-rdu-dca-mht
dub-lon-ams-ber-bsl-rom-bcn-mad-snn
etc...
as long as i don't break the rules by passing through any city more than 2 times and only stopping in a city once, am i right to believe that this would be allowed?
thanks.

Afraid not. You can have only one open jaw if you do not return to your origin. This means you can end at a different city than where you began if all segments connect. Or you can have a break in the middle if you return to the original departure city. I have done 3 OW awards using both methods and was advised when I broke the 'more than 1 open jaw rule'.
