I knew that UK had an APD, but did not know it was planned to increase so much. So, I will reverse my flight order and save a little. Also I can change JFK to LAX, which will add an AA flight between SCL and LAX. This should make AA happier to ticket. My new routing would be:

LHR-DXB-AMM-MAD-SCL-IPC-SCL-LAX-HKG-SIN-NRT-BKK-NRT-PER-DRW-SYD-LHR (60973 miles)

I choose orignating from LHR over Africa because of cheap fare and ease of getting there from MIA. Also the USA stop allows me to break the trip up.

Thanks again. Any more suggestions?
