Please check simple OWE
 
Could you please check the following OWE. I think it is a fairly straight forward one.

SYD-MEL, MEL-BNE, BNE-SIN, SIN-FRA, FRA-MAD, BCN-ATH, ATH-BCN, BCN-MUC, MUC-BCN, BCN-SCL, SCL-ZCO, ZCO-SCL, SCL-ZCO, ZCO-SCL, SCL-AKL, AKL-BNE

All are stopovers except at FRA and AKL. And I am purchasing an extra segment in Europe.

Thank you

SYD-MEL-BNE-SIN-FRA-MAD is 12385 miles
BCN-ATH-BCN-MUC-BCN-SCL-ZCO-SCL-ZCO-SCL-AKL-BNE is 19509 miles

SWP 4 segments
Asia 0 segments
Eu 5 segments
SA 4 segments
SWP-Asia 1 segments
Asia-EU 1 segments
Eu-SA 1 segments
SA-SWP 1 segments
Total 16 segments

Max is 20 segments You have 4 unused segments in Asia

You may find its cheaper to purchase BCN-MUC independently of the OWE (rail or air)

Why SCL-ZCO twice ? If you are after miles much better opportunities are available. eg SCL-IPA Easter island well worth a 3 day visit

I assume you have checked that all these flights exist a single flight number

What frequent flyer program are in or will join? As one of your address’s is Oz I guess it could be QF. You have many opportunities for miles and more importantly status credits to improve your status level. ie maximise flights over 1001 miles, over 2701 miles and over 5001 miles

Thanks for your comments, Mwenenzi. I was mainly wanting to check that I didn't break any rules, I should have mentioned this in my request).

We are not interested in maximizing for mileage etc (I know it's a shock), we use OWE because we need to visit family in Aust and Chile, and we are currently living in Spain, so we use the OWE for "free" tickets within Europe without having to worry about fixing dates etc (we generally change our dates many times before using). And yes use QF Freq Flyer.

Thanks again

Looks OK as far as rules go, but others may another opinion
