In the above GIG, IPC, and JFK are obligatory, and I do want to get to GIG at the beginning of this trip.
Several initial thoughts:
You only have 19 segments so you can add one more. You do not have any segments in Europe so why not a long haul (e.g. RT toDXB) there and drop one of the NA ones.
In any case, you cannot fly YVR-LAX because AS is not permitted on a ONE ticket. Why not do YVR-SFO on QF instead?
You could have a longer and more interesting itinerary in SWP, instead of two RT. How about SYD-AKL-ADL-PER-SYD and purchase a AYQ RT from ADL or SYD.
