Flying every OW member on RTW
 
As the title explains, I would like to play my 2024 DONE to utilise every OneWorld member. Has anyone attempted something like this here or elsewhere? My search-fu failed me on this subreddit.

(As a side note, this would need to include Oman Air given the 2024 constraint.)

Am I missing something that would make this impossible?

Fitting flights with all the Europe/Middle Eastern airlines will be tricky
  • by 2024 there will be 7 of them (BA, AY, IB, AT, QR, RJ, WY)
  • max of 4 flights allowed in the continent
  • so 3 required elsewhere - either inter-continental or 5th freedom flights somewhere
    • QR I think has ADL-AKL in the South-West Pacific
    • and I think QR and RJ have some 5th freedom flights in Asia, but you might need to use the allowed 4 intra-Asia flights for the 4 Asian airlines (CX, JL, MH, UL)
Have fun planning your trip. And let us know if you manage it.

Side note: this year I will fly AT (Royal Air Maroc) which will complete the full set of OW airlines for me :D

BA has SIN-SYD, but again that's from Asia

Thanks - those fifth freedom resources are helpful; the complications in EMEA are indeed my main concern.

I am close to a working game plan - I will be posting it soon. The big question is whether the routing is resilient enough to still be valid (with obvious minor changes) in 2024!

To illustrate that there is nothing new under the sun and that this craziness predates global warming (and in fact could have caused it) , I have reached into the Flyertalk archives:

FlyerTalk Forums - View Single Post - My Definitive ONEWorld Explorer Fareo

Note that the itinerary for this promotion required flying 7 segments on each of the five founding Oneworld airlines (RIP CP) and crediting one of each of these 7 segments to the FF program of all 7 member airlines (founding airlines +AY+IB)

Compared to this getting one flight on each of the current members should be a doddle!
