OneWorld Itinerary Questions for First Timer
After paying rapacious prices for transpacific business class, I am going to do my very first OneWorld 3 continent ticket this summer ex-Korea over a 2 week period.
Just had some questions in my itinerary below based on the premise that the rules state 2 stops allowed per continent and 6 in North America. Does itinerary look okay? I am an AA Platinum and hope to make AA EXP on this trip. Flying J class, how many miles will I need to fly for the Q points? I currently have 10k Q points now so my goal is hit 55k base miles on this itinerary right?
I also have 3 VIPOWs I can use which I earned after 1 million miles which may affect my choice of international carrier. Using Great Circle Mapper, I have counted 55575 miles- is this correct?
ICN-HKG-NRT
NRT-HKG-KUL
KUL-HKG-YYZ-ORD-DCA
DCA-DFW-ANC
ANC-DFW-MIA-TPA
TPA-MIA-SFO-RNO
RNO-DFW-BOS
BOS-DFW-SEA
SEA-DFW-FRA-BCN
BCN-LHR-ATH
ATH-LHR-SIN-HKG-ICN
Asia stops- Tokyo, Kuala Lumpur (is India included in Asia region for trip?)
N. America stops- Washington DC, Anchorage, Tampa, Reno, Boston, Seattle (is Caribbean and San Juan still allowed?)
Europe stops- Barcelona, Athens (is Cairo possible in Europe/Middle East region?)
Most stopovers are only intended for maximizing miles so I am open for suggestions to cities and/or routes.
Thanks!

If it is such a small world, why have I been on this airplane for more than 12 hours?!?
