As an update and a bonus:
Now it also seems to work with flights from Milan and it's possible to find destinations not only in Asia. Also South America (EZE, GRU, GIG) , USA (LAX, SFO, SEA) and Canada (YVR, YTO) like:

Rome – Johannesburg/ Durban – Los Angeles and Beijing – Rome €412
Rome - Johannesburg/Durban - Rio de Janeiro and Beijing - Rome €386

How are you searching? Google flights? Kayak? Expedia?

Specifically the dates that include USA

Kayak seems to work for me.

Difficult to find the days that actually work, but wow, nice find!

WOW!! Great Deal!!

Only problem for me, it seems that all return flights have looong lay-over in ADD - which is not possible for me (Visa problems).

Is there any combination possible with a max. of 8hrs transit or less in ADD?

ThanX

I've messed with the dates again and again GF and Kayak on cell phone but can't pull anything close to this up. Trying to ideally do a trip from MAD but could get to Rome and then do SE Asia or S America and go through JFK on the way back and skip final leg. Possible?

It reprices currently on actual OTAa to figures in between 1500-3300 euro when actually attempting to book. Seems the party is over

I can still get it to price on expedia (am looking at ROM-JNB-BKK-ROM)

For about 50 EUR more, you can avoid the open jaw (in and out of JNB)

Thanks Mike! I got the FCO-JNB-BKK for USD $386 on Etihad in October, and then will be continuing on through Asia and Australia. Puzzle solved!
