Is this DONE4 routing acceptable?
Hey,
Please will you chaps OK this for me or give pointers. I am not sure how similiar triangular tickets are to true RTW tickets.
JNB-PLZ-JNB-LHR-BRU-LHR-JFK-MCO-ORD-SEA-LAX-SYD-MEL-BRISBANE-MEL-SYD-JNB?
Is that routing OK?

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

There's also a second problem, SEA-LAX is not on Oneworld metal (Alaska codeshare) thus not eligible for the Oneworld Explorer.
However your proposed route is less than 34,000 miles (around 31,500) so it would qualify for a Global Explorer 34,000 mile business class ticket (same price as a DONE4.) Alaska Airlines is now allowed for the GlobEx, so your route could fit within those product's rules. You might consult the Oneworld website about this.
Note too if you didn't want to transit LHR a second time AA flies nonstop BRU-JFK.

The OP could also go LAX-MEL direct rather than LAX-SYD-MEL.

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
