Okay.

My last question on this (probably not)....

3544quebec, you said something that caught my interest. I set up an itinerary, which I think will work. *Except* for what you said about the international departure rules. Could I go HEL-LON, LON-JNB, JNB-SYD via London? Or would I need to come up with something different like flying Qantas?

If you are interested, the itinerary is as follows. Also, please let me know if any other problems exist in it:

HEL-LON
LON-MEL
MEL-PER
PER-SYD
SYD-JNB via london
JNB-PLZ
PLZ-CPT via johannesburg
CPT-BKK via london
BKK-BOM
BOM-HKG via bangkok
HKG-YTO via vancouver
YTO-SEA via dallas/ft worth
SEA-LAX
LAX-ROM via london
ROM-HEL via london

As always, I really appreciate the help.
