No - you have two entries to Europe, which is allowed only if one of them is a transit to or from one of the permitted African countries. Your Europe transit is from S Africa (not one of the exception countries).
If you swapped NBO and JNB it would be a valid xONE6. This is unaffected by any rule changes in the last 5 years. |

You can plug your planned itinerary into the "Oneworld Explorer Validator" function of "MileageMonkey" to check.

Since this thread is a routing question and been answered and deals with Africa as a starting point , could someone give me their view on the following. I called the AA RTW and did not get a real experienced rep. I want to make sure this is still valid with all the new rules and interpretations before I call back to dispute it.
JNB-LHR-DFW(STOP)-EZE(STOP)-JFK-HKG(STOP)-SYD(STOP)-LHR(STOP)-DXB(STOP)-LHR(STOP)-IST(STOP)-LHR(STOP)-NBO I believe it is legal but I have never done this before. Thanks anc305 JNB-LHR(STOP)-DXB(STOP)-LHR(STOP)-IST(STOP)-LHR-DFW(STOP)-EZE(STOP)-JFK-HKG(STOP)-SYD(STOP)-LHR-NBO. This is almost 58500 flown miles and you could still add 4 more segments (although not in Europe, where you have used your 4). You could also return to JNB directly from SYD, gaining another spare segment but losing 8000 miles. |
Can I fly on an AA codeshre during a DONE4?
I am going to land up in Seattle as part of my RTW and need to get to LAX to fly to Sydney, can I then get on that Alaska Airlines code share with an AA flight number, will they accept that?
Alternatively any suggestions? |

Alternatively any suggestions? To save hassle and cost, you might think about SFO-SYD as SFO is easier to transit and the AS connections to/from SEA are easier too. I despise the AS operation at LAX. |

No, no AS metal allowed with any xONEx products. It's okay with a DGLOB34 (Global Explorer) however, since AS is included as an eligible carrier. There are no eligible Oneworld transpacific departures from SEA at all.

Best if these 2 threads were merged as about one possible itinerary. Asking the same question twice won't get a different answer. |

On a one world global explorer and a DONE4, my travel agent keeps saying domestically in the US the ticket must be issued for Y class not A/P.
Is she correct? |
Domestically in the US, a DONEn books into A (first) on 2-class flights, D (business) on 3-class flights, and Y (economy) on single class flights.
If there is no availability in A on a 2-class or D on a 3-class then you can get L (economy) if available. Why are you using a travel agent with no expertise in these tickets? I would recommend setting them up through the AA RTW desk. |

Very long story. And this bloody agent is charging me 8% commission on the ticket price. A fool and his money are soon parted.

On a single class AeAgle flights (AA Flights 3000-5599) it books into Y for A/DONEx's.
