Seeking help with AA Award Ticket
I have posted the following in the AA forum, where I received recommendations to cross post here.
I get a different answer from AA each time I ask. My routing is an open jaw-
Lit-Ath, Sin-Lit. The Circle Mapper comes up with 15,817 miles. A oneworld business is 130k(14k-20k miles). Does this routing qualify for an all-partner award (US-Asia2) for 115k? I understand that Athens is not Asia2, but I am using the maximum points required for the trip if it were round-trip from Sin. I do not know if an open jaw is allowed for the all-partner awards, especially where the zones are different.
I currently have the outbound on hold, waiting for the return dates to open up.
Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you for the replies. My plan is to use lit-lhr AA, lhr-ath BA, sin-nrt JAL, nrt-lit AA. The return route is to minimize travel time, but the seats are not guarantied until I am able to book in a few weeks.
I was trying to come up with a plan to be able to upgrade to first with the miles I have. (Can't come up with the miles for first on the OW award, but have enough for the all-partner in first)

JAL isnt a member of oneworld so you can't use it on this award. You could use either Cathay or a combination of Finnair and Cathay. If youre not staying in Tokyo, you can take Cathay from Singapore to LA or San Francisco and AA back to Little Rock.
