Christep, what you said about visiting the 3 IATA zones only once, does that mean If i fly with in the zone before leaving, I can't fly more with in the zone at the end of the trip?

Sorry if I casued confusion. You can't enter each IATA zone more than once. Your plan is fine - you start in IATA 3 and finish there, but that's only one entry. You can only enter each continent once (with a couple of specific exceptions - see the rules), so you can travel around your continent of origin both at the start and at the end, but limited to 4 segments and 2 stopovers in total.

Yes - that looks fine in principle as a xONE6 - the LXA between LHR and SCL must be a transit only. I think you've got the longest runs in Asia, though it seems a shame to pay for a whole extra continent and not stop at least for a few days to see some of it!
