A few comments, and I promise I won't enter the PDX/SEA/YVR debate (again).
If your trip to the Pacific Northwest is intended mainly to get access to Alaska, then you could save a coupon or two by using Alaska's nonstop service from Chicago, which also runs year-round.
And by using Iberia's very kind flight numbering that allows BCN-intercontinental on one coupon, you can make your North America landfall at ORD, while it's still early enough that ANC will be a pleasant visit. Then ORD-MEX and back to ORD or Dallas, then to LA and a transcon to New York, before heading down to Chile.
The coupons you "saved" this way could be used to see some glaciers in New Zealand on the way home.

Also you could look at heading to Chile from MEX, potentially saving another coupon.
Meant to add... Is the Falkland Is. trip a turnaround or do you plan on spending a week? Isn't it just once a week service?
