A few problems:
- As noted above, you have far too many Asia segments.
- There is no OW carrier that flies YYZ-DEN nonstop, so it would take two segments. This would also push your total segments above 20.
Also, the stopovers are of no consequence. The only rule on stopovers is that you are allowed only 2 in your continent of origin, and you are OK there.
A question to the experts here:
Since MIA-HNL is a one-stop flight, does that count as 1 segment, or two?
One if it's AA283, plus the city pair is not on the proscribed transcon list, so doesn't count against that total either. Of course one can't return to the mainland on a OWE ticket (so must continue to SYD.)
chudsy, you should also be aware that there are only a few international first-class segments on this itinerary. On all your listed N. America flights on AA a D-class ticket would book into A inventory (FC) and AA's Canadian and Caribbean services are labled as business rather than FC. LAX-LAS is all economy on Eagle. Qantas' HNL-SYD flight doesn't offer FC, CX doesn't offer it to JNB, and only a couple of CX's intra-Asia flights have a first class cabin. Not to discourage your subsidy of the airlines, but if you want an A-class ticket you might want to check out where it would offer the best value.
