So, I don't know why their system wouldn't validate it at the onset. Maybe the same 'glitch' convinced your rep that your original itinerary was invalid. I have to agree with others, that it definitely looks like it should have validated. Is it a sign that this could be the beginning of 'the end'?

Hi ! I've checked a little bit your routing and I don't think it's working. Your destination seems to be VIE and the MPM allowed between YUL-VIE is around 4027mi. All your trip until destination is 8874mi. Your stop at SFO pull you away from the rest of the stops. Since the MPM between europeans citys is low, I would recommand to find a city in Europe that is a bit far away to increase your margin of maneuver.
Use this website : gcmap.com.
Good luck !

Try this thread next time: Mini RTW Questions
Anyways, your stops are VCE and LHR, but since VCE is farther from YUL than LHR, then VCE is your destination/POT.
YUL - VCE has mpm of ~6729 miles
Your inbound is fine (5291 miles), but your outbound (yul-sfo-zrh-vce) is too much, at 8605 miles.
You probably have a 'want' to go to SFO, instead of going directly from YUL-ZRH, before heading to VCE, but as you can see it's pulling you way over the mpm allowed. You won't be able to book this.

Does anyone know if I choose open-jaw, does the distance between 2 open-jaw cities count towards MPM or not......?

YUL-NRT (Stop)
NRT-ICN
ICN-SIN (Stop)
SIN-MEL (Destination/Open Jaw)
SYD-PEK
PEK-YYZ

Scam charges of a bit over 1,000 CAD. I tried to avoid them, but I just could not find another way to come back to Montreal, so I had to bite the bullet and go through AirChina which more than half of the charges.

Wanted to book a true Mini-RTW but ended up with more of an Asian Pacific Rim swing, due to rapidly disappearing award seats as folks are burning up their points. Either way, getting to SIN via IST and DXB isn't that much different than what I got:.
YYZ - TPE, BR J
TPE - SIN, BR J
SIN - PER, SQ J (destination)
PER - SIN, SQ J
SIN - HKG, SQ J (stop)
HKG - KIX, AI J
KIX - HND, NH Y (a Rapidair-like hop) (stop)
HND - ICN, OZ J
ICN - TPE, OZ J
TPE - YYZ, BR J
Total charges $388 p.p. (plus the AE booking fee), due mainly to NH and OZ charging YQ but they were the only option.

I wasn't sure if this was possible either, the agent also wasn't sure, so she double checked but she said it was okay at the end.
The open jaw is the destination, or point of return. I remember reading somewhere that this was okay, but can't find the post
