re: "oneworld" award (140K/280K/420K) Planning - The Definitive Thread
Using AAdvantage miles, you can redeem for their OneWorld Explorer Award. 150K miles gets you a Zone 7 award of 20,001 - 25,000 flown miles in business class. 190K miles gets you a Zone 8 award of 25,001-35,000 flown miles in business class. 25,000 miles can get you a basic journey around the world (SYD-LAX-JFK-LHR-HKG-SYD is just under 24,000 miles). But a more complex routing will likely require the Zone 8 award.
