BronzedAussie, As others have posted, your routing is invalid as a xONEx as it is more than 20 segments. FWIW, your routing 44684 miles.

There is a lot more infomation in the oneWORLD forum.

There is a great One World Validator made available by a very generous FTer; one Jordan Hargrave.

Plug your routing into the Oneworld Explorer Validator secton and click the submit botton:

SYD-HKG-JNB-NBO-LHR-FCO-SXF-BCN-AMS-EDI-LHR-JFK-YQB-MIA-DFW-SEA-SFO-LAX-NAN-AKL-MEL-PER-CNS-BNE-SYD

(Plug it into the Point-to-Point to get total distance.)

Two tips:

1) IF you live in SYD, Start from MEL (use points or a red e-deal to nest a SYD-MEL-SYD around the xONEx). That way you can come back to SYD and have a break before heading to PER/BNE etc.

2) Go LHR-LAX & JFK-"Asia" to maximise distance on your NA transcontinentals.

Here is a DONE4 (WIP) I am planning for later this year and next. (I live in MEL, cheapest realistic purchase place for DONE4 is SriLanka):

cmb-hkg-nrt-MEL-per-MEL-PER-syd-lhr-DXB-lhr-lax-bos-dfw-anc-dfw-mia-jfk-nrt-hkg-cmb

or another way: (for a LONEx)

syd-lhr-DXB-lhr-lax-bos-dfw-anc-dfw-mia-jfk-nrt-hkg-cmb-hkg-nrt-MEL-per-MEL-PER-syd

These are both 62,891 miles and 2060 SC's in D and 535 SC's in L after 25th May.
