You have five segments in Europe, so the fifth would cost extra. Without checking the schedules I would say something like this would be a lot more miles:

BOM-HKG-KHI-HKG-AKL-MEL-PER-SYD-JFK-BGI-JFK-BGI-JFK-SFO-LHR-IST-LHR-DXB-LHR-HKG-BOM

which is 64497 miles (although you'd need a side ticket to get to ORD).

And in the summer you could do:

BOM-HKG-KHI-HKG-AKL-MEL-PER-SYD-JFK-SFO-ORD-ANC-ORD-SFO-LHR-IST-LHR-DXB-LHR-HKG-BOM

which is 65536 miles.

Or for a 3 continent

BOM-HKG-KHI-HKG-JFK-SFO-DFW-ANC-DFW-ORD-SFO-LHR-IST-LHR-DXB-LHR-HKG-BOM

for 53419 miles.
