2. Two permitted in Asia when one is for travel between the Southwest Pacific and Europe/Middle East.
CAI-xLHR-xDFW-SCL-xDFW-CUN-ORD-ANC-HNL-HND-SYD-NAN, AKL-KUL-DEL-xDOH-AMM
So, it looks OK to me

That's great, one less thing to wonder about! Thanks for the clarification!

Just an update - I finally got ticketed this morning.
I gave up on BA and called AA RTW desk who were incredibly helpful and unpicked the mess BA had made. They instantly spotted that it was the US continental legs that were making it an invalid booking as pandaperth said and sorted me out with a London to Sydney flight via DOH.
Base price of the ticket from Oslo came to 5,565 and with taxes etc it came to 7,353
Thank you so much for all of your help - I literally couldn't have done it without this thread!

That base price seems a bit high. Are you sure that's not USD pricing as the numbers are closer to the current USD pricing of $5,489 based on NOK base pricing of 57,959 NOK. Based on the NOK rate, current GBP base pricing should be around 4,589.

Interest in ex-CAI RTW fares was rekindled in early Feb - [MENTION=873896]PO48RA[/MENTION] posted that the base fare for a DONE4 was USD4664 (see Post #1113)
Other posts at that time indicated that the base fares were in EGP (e.g. post #1119 told us the DONE5 base fares was EGP145,000)
But then early this month the fares were being quoted in USD, and were higher (DONE4 for USD5220 for example; I actually made a note of these fares on March 8th, but didn't note which OW airline's fares I was looking at)
And now the fares have reverted to being quote in EGP and are the same as they were before the change to USD
Note: I used experflyer to look up the current fares. It displays the fares in the currency you choose, but if you click on the routing rules (!) for a fare, you can see what currency has been filed for the fare
BUT the bottom line is - these fares are a bargain!

LHR-DOH-SIN-DOH-LHR doesn't work. You are only permitted one entry into the European continent (except for going to/from Africa)
Also, LHR-PER counts as passing through Asia, so you're entering Asia three times in total, which isn't allowed either.
LHR-DOH is only permitted once.
Code:
E. ONLY ONE INTERCONTINENTAL DEPARTURE AND ONE INTERCONTINENTAL ARRIVAL PERMITTED IN EACH CONTINENT EXCEPT AS FOLLOWS - 1. TWO PERMITTED IN NORTH AMERICA. 2. TWO PERMITTED IN ASIA. 3. TWO PERMITTED IN EUROPE/MIDDLE EAST FOR TRAVEL TO/FROM/VIA AFRICA. IF TRAVEL IS TO/FROM EUROPE IN BOTH DIRECTIONS ITINERARY MAY NOT INCLUDE MAURITIUS/SOUTH AFRICA.
LHR-DOH is only permitted once.
Code:
I.THE SAME CITY PAIRS/SECTORS CANNOT BE FLOWN MORE THAN ONCE IN THE SAME DIRECTION
