headinclouds,
with that in mind the LHR-DOH,CAI-MAD-(x)SCL-IPC-SCL-AKL-SYD-CNS-NRT-HKG-PEK,DEL-HKG-JNB-VFA-JNB itenerary doesn't work; violates rules for more than 2 flights in origin region. But thanks for the idea. I could change the order of the European/Middle East stuff to make it fit but I'm trying to avoid the wintertime in Europe. Hmmm...
Not sure what error you are referring to. I guess that it is the 2 stopovers in continent of origin. You have a stopover in Europe/ME at DOH and at MAD. The open jaw between DOH and CAI is sometimes construed as 2 stopovers, one at each end when it is just 1 stopover. I believe that is the intrepretation of the 2 stopover rule, but could be wrong. I don't trust the OW and mileage monkey error warnings in these cases.
Oops. Must add a JNB-LHR segment to your trip, so you have only 4 extra segements to use
