this is valid on MileageMonkey
This does show as valid in MM, which surprises me because all QF flights to/from Fiji are codeshares on FJ and so are not allowed on a *ONE*. OW has very poor coverage in SWP apart from OZ & NZ.

What are the gotchas of this iten?
You have 4 segments in Europe (lhr-ist-amm-cai-amm). Just be aware that you can have only two stopovers in your continent of origin. So two of the segments have to be transfers (less than 24 hrs between arriving and departing) - presumably stopovers are IST and CAI and transits are both visits to AMM?

I also want to maximize my flights in SE Asia (from your second post)
You have three of the maximum four segments allowed in Asia (bom-hkg-bkk-sin). A routing such as BOM-BKK-HKG-xxx-HKG, where xxx is anywhere in Asia that CX flies to, can use an extra segment. Possibilites: MNL, SGN, DPS...

What with not being able to fly SYD-NAN-SYD, you'll have segments left over - perhaps some stops in Nth Am - Mrs P and I had a very enjoyable side-trip from NYC to BGI on our LONE4 late last year
