After looking there are 2 problems.

Problem #1, Too many miles (40,447)

Problem #2 Your destinations. must continue in a east to west direction at all times
and you can only enter a continent once (with a second rare stop for a connection allowed in some circumstances). You would need to lose the PRG/VIE stop or lose LOS (I would lose the LOS stop myself if possible).

Now trying CVG-LAX-PPT-LAX-ICN-PEK-FCO-VIE-CDG-EZE-ATL-CVG

Now at 35,104 miles. Still too much I think as therer is a limit of 34,000 I think (maybe only 28,000)

If you leave out PPT, it is all much easier.
Thanks PMMMDL! I was afraid of that. I guess it is back to the drawing board.
