Is it valid?

mru-lhr-jfk-hkg-syd-hkg-jnb-mru

More importantly would BA in MRU consider it valid?

Also people have reported problems getting these issued in MRU (this would be my first time) so I've been put off up to now. I've found availability according to ExpertFlyer but from other posts that doesn't always count for much.

Any advice/ recent experience or specific contacts in MRU appreciated.

Thanks.

Can't help with the MRU end but my understanding is that it would be valid if one or other of the HKG transits were to be a 'transit with no stopover'. (If that were the case, you might as well go jfk-syd-hkg-jnb-mru or jfk-hkg-syd-jnb-mru, if there's availability.)

I tried validating your itinerary against the oneworld.com itinerary checker & that wanted the second HKG transit to be 'no stopover' (but was otherwise happy), but I believe that the rules require one or other transit to be 'no stopover' rather than only the second.
