You want your cake and eat it too, like any decent FTer would. I told ya, it is doable but not "easy". Perhaps if you would reconsider and start a "5" from a cheaper place? A "5" would give you the best of both worlds: easy EXP and a good chunk of true F. Plus, by reaching EXP before the end of the OWE you get the chance of doing this is two parts, with a trip home in between, which opens up some interesting possibilities.

I don't think you can come remotely close and keep it mostly in F. You can do a lot better on AONE5 or try this AONE6 for almost all F

MIA-ANC
ANC-DFW
DFW-JFK
JFK-LAX
LAX-SCL
SCL-IPC
IPC-SCL
SCL-LAX (or MEX if you want BA)
LAX-LHR
LHR-MCT
MCT-LHR
LHR-MRU
MRU-JNB
JNB-HKG
HKG-NRT
NRT-DEL
DEL-HKG
HKG-SYD
SYD-JFK

Just retweak the ANC part for the winter season. That one is 76497. (not sure they'll let you transit lax back from scl, mex gives 75100)

I think you will find it very difficult to get your 100K Qpoints with an F only itinerary on an AONE4. AONE5's and AONE6's give a better chance but at a higher cost (USD11,300/USD13,200 ex USA).

It is generally acknowledged on this forum that DONE4's can give the best status/$ of these oneworld products.

Of course!!

Yes, that would be a lot easier. What place would have a cheap "5"?

Interesting itinerary - my mouth waters at the possiblities. However, LAX-SCL-IPC is J only (although it seems to be a popular route for miles). Also, NRT-DEL-HKG is J only as well. Overall, though, the itinerary lookd great! ^

Another idea for you if you want to go the AONE5/6 route is to work out a really really long one and straddle it over 2 qualifying years, if you do it from a cheap(er) origin like JNB or MRU you add the positioning flights or another nested A/DONEx. The idea being to lower the cost per EXP qualification.

Just break off at 66667 and pick it up again next year and the remainder goes on next year's tab. Just have to start in March or something so the 'next' year's can be done in January and stay in the 1 year validity of the ticket.

Warning: you can waste hours and hours of your life playing with the routes. I know I have enjoyed wasting those hours immensely. Now I just gotta get off my rear and take the trip! Kathmandu hmm

Right you are about getting going on the trip!!

That's a great idea about spreading out the price per EXP qualification. I likely wouldn't be leaving until March anyway, so that will work nicely. ^

I do recommend Kathmandu - it's been a few years since I've been, but it is an interesting place full of contradictions (remote location, multiple internet cafes on every corner, backpackers and well-heeled trekkers rubbing shoulders and sharing resources, trade and commerce conducted by men carrying 100kg+ on their backs, wearing flip flops, and having to climb multiple mountain ranges to get their goods to their destination, etc.).

I do thoroughly enjoy spending my time trying to optimize the route. I do think that an A/DONE6 could fit the bill in terms of overall miles and two-year qualification.

I'll get on it to see how many miles I can accumulate!

Regarding deciding between AONE* and DONE*, bear in mind that availability of A inventory seems to be far more restricted than D.
I'm currently researching a DONE4 (nrt-hkg-jfk-lax-sjo-lax-ord-sju-jfk-scl-puq//ush-bue-mad-mow-amm-mct-lhr-hkg-del-nrt totals "only" 58344 miles) and while checking availability for some dates next year, there is loads of D inventory on every segment (other than a couple of flights with Y cabin only). However, many of the flights that have F, are showing A0, and I would be struggling to actually book this in A.
Especially if you anticipate date changes as the trip progresses, it could be much harder to get A than D.

Happy Travels.

Just as a note - you can make AA EXP on a DONE3 with quite a few different routings by buying the extra segments up to 20. Yes , it may make it a higher price than a DONE4 but some of the add on segments may be a good value to you if you are mixing business and pleasure.
