Critique & Advice on RTW Booking
I'm in the process of arranging a LONE4 RTW for me and my wife. I intend to start from OSL to bring the cost down however I would appreciate a quick review of the below itinerary and advice on a couple of the flights.

OSL->GIG (via LHR) -> BOG (via GRU) -> UIO (surface) ->LIM -> SCL ->SYD ->BNE -> SYD -> PER (surface) ->SIN -> BKK (surface) -> OSL

Few queries
  1. Am I making the most of the trip from an Avios/TP collection considering we are flying Economy?
  2. Bogota - Quito: This brings up some crazy flight routings, assume I will have to book a local flight?
  3. LIM-SYD: Again, this tries to take me via MIA & DFW before SYD, hence why I've had to put in SCL as a stop, anyway around this?
  4. When trying to book it brings up the error "We have encountered a problem pricing your itinerary. Please save your itinerary then contact British Airways to book it.", why?
  5. Cost is estimated at £5,200 for both, is that about right?
