You must cross both the Pacific (north or south) and Atlantic oceans to be legal. You are crossing the Atlantic twice (MAD-SCL and LAX-LHR) which is not legal. LAX-HNL is not counted as trans-Pacific.

You are correct that ORD-HNL-LAX is not allowed. If you fly ORD-HNL, then you must continue to SYD (the only OneWorld option that does not return to the US mainland). So that adds another continent - but also lots more miles.

You have lots of segments left and could do several things to max miles/status. But until you sort out the continents there's not much more we can do to help. I am assuming SCL and HNL are must stops?
