I work with a knowledgable T/A in YYZ who knows all the fare rules of any RTW fare they issue. If you need their contact, let me know.
FYI the Maximum Permitted mileage on this Global Explorer ticket is 34,000 miles. NOT 35,000 miles.
Your current routing of : YYZ-MIA-UIO-SCL-AKL-APW-NAN-AKL-BNE-SYD-JNB-LHR-VIE-LHR-YYZ creates 34,775 miles. You've exceeded by 775 miles.
My suggestion: Do YYZ-MIA-UIO-SCL-AKL-APW-NAN-AKL-SYD-JNB-MAD-VIE-LHR-YYZ. This will make 33973 miles. Just making the max 34K miles.
For the SYD-BNE sidetrip. Take Virginblue or QF for as low as CAD138.00 roundtrip. And by routing via MAD, you're saving on miles instead of going via LHR. You'll be passing through LHR the second time round anyway.
