My DONE4 (oneworld RTW) booking experience

... Even if you go on QF 1 SYD to SIN to LHR - still counts as 2 flights under the rules. - 1 ex Asia 1 ex Sth Pacific as I understand it.

As already indicated, that is incorrect.

QF1 booked as SYD-LHR is one segment and earns 295 status credits with Qantas Frequent Flyer.

If fortunate enough to fly this with Double SC, the earn is 590.

The QF status calculator is showing 280 for discount or 310 for flex business?

D class maps to the standard "Business" category which the calculator shows as 295 SC as per @serfty's post.

So it does! My apologies.

No. it does not count as 2 flights. It is 1 segment (1 flight number). SYD-LHR
Flying over Asia (or transit) counts as a continent, even if not visiting~stop over Asia.
Just as Qatar QR flight DOH-AKL includes "Asia" as a continent. DONE3 ---> DONE4.
Have you downloaded the rules (pdf) from the OW web site?
Can have 16 segments, including ground segments.

Hi I have downloaded the rules but clearly am missing a few things. Thanks to you and @serfty for providing clarification for QF1. WIll have a little more of a play. Was there a reason you highlighted in the other post only 2 stopovers in the continent of origin - I would have thought my original itinerary would have met that requirement?

Interesting airfare. Is each flight segment booked separately or is it one ticket. Imam wondering what happens if one of your flights is delayed and therefore you miss the next flight.

By definition, this is a round the world fare and all flights are on the one ticket. If you miss one flight due to delay you will automatically be reaccommodated on other flights.
