I was looking at suggestions to maximize miles, but without specifying where "everywhere we want to go" is. Also what class? A/D/LONE5?
Failing to see any OW flight CAI-DAR, also not allowed to transit LHR, where ticket starts.
Think again about AMM
or CAI, very close - side trip? AMM connected to MAD, to bypass LHR; CAI not. Neither of them to JNB. FRA both to US and ME on RJ
Almost the same SIN, if needed easy to reach on a side trip from BKK, thus room for mor flights/miles on NA flights. CNC also easy side trip from AKL.
Consider this alternative: LHR-JNB (sidetrip to DAR?) -HKG-BOM-BKK (sidetrip to SIN) -NRT-XHKG-SYD-AKL (sidetrip CNC) -LAX-SJU(tc)-BOS-MIA-DFW-FRA-AMM-LHR (with sidetrip/s to IST a/o CAI from AMM) . All this of course reshuffles the order of destinations.
If both DAR and JNB "must" destinations, start in JNB, still good prices, but rising. Then able to transit LHR both for AMM and for re-entering Africa for DAR. Only one stop-over in LHR allowed.
Look at oneworld forum for the stickies , where You'll find helpful tools.
Happy Travel!
