I don't think it's legal. You have USA-S.Asia OPEN JAW Japan-Central Asia then Central Asia-USA. I think the open jaws have to be within the destination region. So for example if he flew SFO-KTM, DEL-JFK, the two open jaws should work, but based on my previous experiences, what he is trying won't work. Over the summer I had booked CDG-DOH-TBS-IST-BEY, CAI-ZRH-BCN this was allowed since BEY and CAI were in the same zone (Middle East). When I eliminated BEY, so that the routing was CDG-DOH-TBS-IST, CAI-ZRH-BCN, the routing became invalid as a round trip, and they want to break it into CDG-DOH-TBS (where I was stopping) as a 1-way, TBS-IST as a one-way and CAI-ZRH-BCN as a one way. The issue was that my open jaw was from the Europe region, resuming on the other side in the Middle East region. I imagine he will run into the same problem.
