Ideas on how to squeak a few more in. Hopefully buying the ticket this week!

lhr-ist-amm-cai-amm-bom-hkg-bkk-sin-syd-nou-syd-akl-lax-lhr
Stopover/Transit:
<=23:59 = transit
>=24:00 = stopover
Strictly applied always, no leeway.

lhr-ist-amm-cai-amm-bom-bkk-hkg-sgn-hkg-syd-nou-syd-akl-lax-lhr
shows as valid in MM (perhaps you inadvertently left SIN in the routing - as I did the first time I checked it)

QF flies its own metal SIN-NOU three times a week; the other four days it codeshares on Air Calin - so you have choose the right days to fly each way so you're on QF metal.

Possibilties for "sqeaking a few more in":
You've used your 4 allowed segments in Europe
Ditto for Asia if you change your routing to BOM-BKK-HKG-xxx-HKG
So the places where you can squeak are either SWP or NthAm. Since you're not interested in Nth Am, then SWP it is
  • HKG-zzz-SYD-AKL, where zzz is one of the other major Australian cities or CNS
  • You can re-route as HKG-AKL-yyy-SYD/MEL and then fly the A380 SYD/MEL-LAX, or if you prefer fly SYD-JFK (yyy not= zzz 'cos QF does not fly AKL-PER or AKL-ADL)
  • if it's the flying you're really interested then for the final three segments consider:
    Australian City-transit Asian City (Tokyo or HKG)-stopover Nth American City-London. YVR and YYZ are Canadian possibilties from HKG, as well a number of US ports from either HKG or TYO

Enjoy
