Does this itinerary look valid? Any suggestions for improvement - my objective is to fly better business class cabins and to include these stopovers...

OSL BA/AY LHR stop QR DOH QR DXB stop CX HKG CX SIN stop CX HKG CX TYO stop JL SFO stop AA DFW AA JFK stop BA/AA LHR BA PMI stop AY HEL AY OSL

Thanks in advance for sharing your expertise and experiences.

Stopping over in LHR will attract a hefty UK APD when leaving.
You have 6 EU-ME segments. Only allowed 4, OSL-LHR, LHR-DOH-DXB, LHR-PMI, PMI-HEL-OSL
Be careful about the TYO airport HND & NRT. Any ground segment will count.
Going to the far side of a USA continent (east) , then back to the west, then from west to UK will get more miles - more in business class. eg. TYO-JFK-SFO-DFW-LHR (have not checked flights)
