Thanks all for advices about my trip. I corrected the route: CAI-LHR-SYD//BNE-PER-DRW-MEL-AKL-SCL-EZE-LHR-MOW//HEL-MAD-CAI.
IS it 3 or 4 continents?
1st - Euro
2nd - SWP
3rd - South Am.
4th - ?Asia? - I don't want have stopover within Asia and a flight (maby BA 15 or 9) haven't change number within.
How about optimum FFP for max benefits in the future.</font>
You can not do BNE-PER
andDRW-MEL
From the OW rules
<font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2">Within Australia only one non stop flight is permitted between Perth and Brisbane, Cairns or Sydney; or between Darwin and Melbourne or Sydney. This restriction does not apply for passengers originating their travel in Perth or New Zealand when travelling to/from Africa on the Sydney-Perth direct flights </font>
To get the maximum miles you need to use every on one the 20 segments allowed, However you must consider what taxes you pay for each segment and accommodation costs that cannot be avoided, or else the cost may be more than the benefit.
Asia is definitely part of your ticket, so you go LHR-HKG-DPS(bali)-HKG-MEL for a few days. Other option is SCL-IPC (Easter Island). Thousands of other flight you could take. It all depends how much time and money you have.
For QF FFP distances
over 1001 are much better than 1000 miles trips
over 2701 are much better than 2700 miles trips
over 5001 are much better than 5000 miles trips
You get more status credits and progress to the next level in the program quicker
