I am planning on starting from Tokyo. So far the routing i am looking for is HND-HKG-SIN-SYD-MEL-DOH-IST-BCN-MAD-CPH-LHR-JFK-LAX-NRT. I could extend it to GRU and EZE but that puts me over the 34K limit.

I do not have any status with any OW carrier. So wondering if i can swing this itinerary and which mileage program would the best to accrue status.
