You can indeed add Moscow and stay within the rules - just swap PEK-NRT for PEK-HND, then take JAL's nonstop flight to DME. Note that Finnair uses SVO for its Moscow flights, so if you wanted to avoid losing a segment because of the airport change in Moscow, you'd have to fly to either Madrid or London in order to "double back" to Helsinki, but you'd still have enough segments in Europe and overall - to wit:

Thanks,i'll take a look at it and pull it in the OW tool. How are the taxes? Are these high and can be lowered or are considered fair for the route.
NA is kept just to board A380 as is it one of the highlights of the trip. We also like to try Qantas.
