Can I jam all this into an OW130C?
If I'm reading the rules on the aa.com page about One World distance-based awards, it would appear that this all fits in a OW130C. Am I doing it right?
BOS-LHR-BCN-MUC-LHR-YYZ-ORD-ANC-ORD- IND-MIA-MBJ-JFK-BOS. LHR-BCN, MUC-LHR, LHR-YYZ on BA, BCN-MUC on IB, everything else on AA.
This would be in lieu of a 90k J award BOS-LHR, a 45k domestic F award ORD-ANC, and a 60k open-jaw J award to the Carribbean ORD(IND)-MBJ-BOS.

Not sure about AA's rules (and they do differ sometimes), but most OneWorld airline's OneWorld Awards require the use of a minimu of two airlines other than your home plan airline. So you might need to use BA for the LHR-BCN flight.

Yes--that is how the AA site reads--you must use two OneWorld carriers other than AA--assuming that you are an AA ff member.
I have been looking at a distance based award also, so I am doing the same thing---

Thanks, everybody!
ORD-ANC does indeed look full for award travel for when I wanted to go next August. I will probably try to figure out a different destination, or just cut out the ANC parts so it fits into the next lower tier of award.
