Any advice on this MONE4 itinerary?

Hi all,

After many months of planning, I am finally ready to do my first RTW with a MONE4 starting in my homebase of Vancouver. I will be departing at the end of September. Any advice or comments on my itinerary are greatly appreciated. I have decided to join CX's Asia Miles FF program, so my milage calculations are according to the AsiaMiles website. So,does this look correct?

ASIA:
YVR-HKG: CX 6381 miles
HKG-SIN: CX 1592 miles
BKK-Karachi: CX 2300 miles
DEL-HKG: CX 2326 miles
HKG-CMB: CX 2492 miles
CMB-HKG: CX 2492 miles

Africa:
HKG-JNB: CX 6630 miles
JNB-NBO: BA 1808 miles
NBO-JIB: BA 987 miles
JIB-ASM: BA 385 miles
ASM-NBO: BA 1156 miles
NBO-JNB: BA 1808 miles

Europe/Middle East:
JNB-LHR: BA 5637 miles
LHR-CAI: BA 2195 miles
IST-LHR: BA 1561 miles
LHR-TUN: BA 1137 miles
LPA-LGW: BA 1801 miles

North America:
LHR-MEX: BA 5532 miles
SJO-NYC: AA 2210 miles
NYC-YVR: CX 2442 miles

Please note that all gaps will be made up by overland trips or by purchasing additional seperate flights while on the road.

Total # of segments: 20
Total # of CX Asia Miles: 52,872 (except I don't think I can count the AA SJO-NYC flight because CX's Asia Miles doesn't credit AA flights???)As far as I read the AsiaMiles rules, M class flights on CX and BA earn 100% miles, but not AA...is this correct?

Thank you in advance for assistance with my RTW planning.

Tim
