Your final routing will be something like AMS-LHR-EZE-SCL-PUQ-SCL-IPC-PPT-SCL-AKL-SYD-PER-HKG-BKK-LHR-AMS (requires purchasing 2 extra segments in South America, which is allowed, and you are still under the 20 segment limit so you could do some more flights in Asia, maybe HKG-DPS-HKG or HKG-NRT-HKG or in Australia or Europe).

I thought PPT was considered as SWP not South America.. hence you're stuck there if coming from IPC/SCL if on a Oneworld Explorer. You can do PPT-AKL however on a Global Explorer.

You can download a Oneworld timetable to your PC and plan out your itinerary. The best one is at http://www.cathaypacific.com/intl/pl...le/0,,,00.html
