OW OSL-HNL RT $1800 r/t
sample dates 9.7.-17.7. Be careful, GF doesnt show price correctly (price there will be approx 2K EUR), but when you go to booking through ba.com you will get the price (approx NOK 1600+- dependent on chosen routing/flights). Fare basis IPN8T1S6, books to mix of I/J/D classes . Best to enjoy AY A359 on HEL-LAX route of course, HNL-DFW on B772 (lie-flat) on the way back possible on some dates. Excellent EQMS/EQDS earing on AA (after AA changed earning scheme for BA marketed flights for 2019).
enjoy!
enjoy!

Great find.... am I correct in saying that routing back the 24 hour stopover rule would be in place in the landing state....
ie..... could I do a week in hnl then fly back to USA stopping for a week before on to Oslo again?
I presume not but hoping I can.

Can you post post a link. It can be bought from BA Norway site but the route home has red eye ftom HNL and long transit at LAX or SEA.
ITA not showing fare at all even when search is by same flights and dates as BA. Com it’s then £1900 rather than $1800. I have not searched by the fare code you published.

cant post links yet, but you can use OSL-HNL example from "2500 usd tun-hnl z lx/ua/ac" FT thread and click on booking through British Airways website and you can see reprice to USD1800(NOK 16.000).
it can be done without red eye, departing 7:10 from HNL with short connection at LAX, HEL, but more routings possible (red eye on lie-flat through DFW is one of the possibilities).

Alaska allows you to credit BA and AY metal. But how does the code share apply?
I haven't seen the changes for AA BA EQDs... Can you spare the details?

You are right, EQDs stays the same (25% for all business classes, just checked), the main change was in EQMs from 1.5 to 2.0 (C,D,I,R) and to 3.0 (J). What is interesting with this fare is that even though it is a "I" fare it would book segments in I,D and even J. So for my booking I got :
OSL-HEL J
HEL-LAX I
LAX-HNL J(!)
HNL-DFW J(!)
DFW-MAD I
MAD-OSL I
and according to my calculation it will earn 44.6K EQMs, 4.73K EQDs and 46.3K award miles (I am AA EXP so award miles calculation includes 120% bonus), not bad...
