Does that mean though that the HKG - SIN - LHR is doable as a OW award on BA in F?

not sure - depends how lenient they are. SIN isn't exactly "on the most direct route" between HKG and LHR, but neither is EZE between SCL and LAX

stopovers in S. America
what will be the most effective way to use BA miles on a S. America trip having as many stopovers as possible.
we are planning on traveling this coming Nov.
Really appreciate all input.
Michelle.

I'm not sure about availability, but it's my dream to pull off the following on AS for 12.5k one way in Y:
DCA-LAX-SEA-KTN-WRG-PSG-JUN-ANC-FAI-SCC-BRW
with a stopover in each destination. I'd try to hit Sitka on the way back
If they'd actually permit it I think it's a great use of miles!

This should be possible. All of the flights are on LAN metal. And it isn't really any less direct than going LAX-MIA-EZE which is allowed using BA miles on AA metal.
The only catch might be the IGR flight. I am not sure if EZE and AEP are considered co-terminals. And since you will fly into EZE from SCL, and then out of AEP to IGR you will have to change airports in Buenos Aires.
Give it a try and let us know if it is allowed.

Now that would be excellent value for your BA miles !

Yes that is correct, but I don't think you can fly into AEP from SCL on LAN. AEP is typically only used for domestic Argentine flights, and MVD.
Others I am sure will correct me if I am wrong.
There is no physical problem in changing airports. Particularly since you are planning to stopover in Buenos Aires. What I was attempting to convey was a concern that there might be problems booking the BA EC award ticket when flying into / out of different airports.

LA offers connecting service from SCL to AEP via MDZ.

This keeps getting better and better. Let's add a stopover for a couple of days in Mendoza to drink some wine.
I have taken the bus from Buenos Aires to Mendoza, and then to Santiago. But I have no desire to do it again.

If I see someone climbing Aconcagua with a bottle of Malbec in each hand I will know who it is.
