I am playing around with the online tool. On some days expert flyer shows OSL - HKG as operated by N7 (Nordic Regional Airlines). All days there is an AY flight number. On those days I am unable to select the flight in the Oneworld tool, it returns as no flights available. Is N7 permissible on a DGLOB34 or a DONE 4?

Now thinking of an ex-OSL DONE5 for later in the year - this detail about QR surcharges caught my attention.
For a ticket that will maximize QR, and to a lesser extent, CX, and JL sectors, which ticketing carrier is best these days, to minimize the surcharges involved?
AA-RTW desk would be my normal default (including AA marketed/operated on MIA-GRU), but if carrier imposed charges when ticketing through them really are around $200 a sector for QR, I maybe should consider another option, if a better one exists.
Can anyone here please advise?

I'm a flyer with quite some xONEx under his belt, but haven't ventured out on one for a while now, and my intuition for how to minimize taxes and fees is woefully out of date.

QR have less Carrier imposed charges. It adds up quickly.

Recent experience. I have been playing around with the OW RTW tool for a while and I made the booking yesterday. I worked our exactly what we wanted using the tool. I spoke to BA (I am lucky enough to have Gold Guest List status for now). The agent advised me to send him the itinerary. He booked it, but had to call me with one slight modification (D class was not available on one sector, so we had to change dates). He then sent it to ticketing and it was issued a few hours later, on a BA ticket number. My Amex was charged in UK (even though the fare shown was in NOK). I was able to pick seats on all sectors via the various ariline web sites, using the PNR (he gave me the AA locator for the one sector). The only failure on seat allocation is a long sector on Fiji. We start in Olso as it saved us about 2.5k each vs. London (the agent was aware of this). (Thanks to FT for this piece of infromation). So far so good!

All sounds good. Originally I used to call BA in the country of departure, then for a while they had a RTW desk in the UK, but today you need to find the right agent to get through the process. It is correct that they priced in NOK although as you used an Amex I hope they put it through into GBP (with a decent conversion rate) and you didnt end up paying Amexs extortionate international transaction fee - 3% if I remember correctly. Its the one thing that puts me off using Amex for my international travel.

Interesting. When is your trip, specifically, when is your flight on FJ? The OW website still says "Fiji Airways will become the 15th full member of the alliance in 2025." I somehow missed the announcement of exactly when that status begins; it's good to know that these flights are now bookable on xONEx!
