I am in the middle of DONE4 and started to plan for the next one(again), going to start from OSL again and looking for the below routings, not so creative again but it pretty much covers the place i need to go.
OSL-xDOH-HKG-SYD-AKL-HKG-CTS-HKG-HND-JFK-SFO-xDOH-VIE-xDOH-OSL Was thinking detour the HND-JFK sector as HND-HNL-DFW-JFK to pick up some more miles on the way to JFK but if I travel back to SFO whether this is considered as backtracking between Hawaii and other points in North America even i have a stopover in JFK? |

I'm routing ... NAN-LAX-ANC-JFK-LAX-DFW etc for the miles and this also escaped the backtracking rule.

My agent told me it was applicable for transcontinental sectors however ANC-JFK-LAX isn't viewed as such whereas LAX-JFK-SFO would be.

Has it been determined one way or another how Alaska is treated? I’ve seen this discussed previously but haven’t (so far as I can recall) seen a confirmation from anyone that’s done it. Alaska is not in column A, so per the table ANC-JFK-SFO is allowed?
It clearly states the rule for Alaska "Additionally, only one flight to State of Alaska and one flight from State of Alaska permitted." |

In my limited experience, I feel like AS availability in D bucket is hard to come by.. and essentially nil during the summer months (peak Alaska tourist season).

AA used to have nonstop LAX/MBJ service, and it wasn't on the prohibited list. Earned plenty of miles on that one until they figured it out and added it to the list, just before terminating the service altogether.
