Can you think of a more efficient way to do it? (less back tracking, possible insertion of more interesting stops).

1: SFO-ORD: 1st of 6 (North America)
2: ORD-AMM: intercontinental
3: AMM-CAI: 1st of 4 (Europe)
4: CAI-BUD: 2nd of 4 (Europe)
5: BUD-ATH: 3rd of 4 (Europe)
6: ATH-LHR: 4th of 4 (Europe)
7: LHR-LGW: surface
8 LGW-KEF
9 KEF-LGW
10: LGW-LHR: surface
11 LHR-JNB: intercontinental
Thanks.
Why not buy a separate AMM-CAI return since it would cheaper than buying LGW-KEF return? Then the routing becomes ...AMM-ATH-BUD-LGW-KEF-LGW//LHR-JNB... Malev flies to LGW, not LHR so you save(??) a surface segment of your 20 total segments. Then you can add the ORD-TVC at the end.
