Is this routing valid

One lady said that she thought I can't backtrack (ticket type LLONE4). I told her that i thought the advantage of the ticket was that you COULD backtrack within a continent.

Is this ok

(coming in from London)
Lon -> Chicago
Chicago -> Mexico City
Mexico City -> Cancun
Cancun -> Miami
Miami -> Mexico City
Mexico City -> Miami

(southwest - no oneworld flight to get to LA)
Los Angeles -> Sydney

Also - my ticket originated in Perth, is it fine to Terminate in Sydney?

Thanks!!

Backtracking within a continent is allowed and, yes, you can end the trip in SYD.

Edited to add: MEX-CUN is really MEX-MIA-CUN but other than that, yes, the routing looks valid to me.

The fourth, which is opped by AA, has a note stating that it is being discontinued Sept 4. *Usually* this just means that it hasn't been reloaded and maybe the time will change a little, but sometimes it does in fact mean the flight is being discontinued completely. On this route, I would think the former, but you should be at least aware of it.

Yes, you can start in Perth and end in Sydney (or anywhere else in Oz, for that matter)

You are allowed 6 segments in NA and are only using 5 ... so couldn't you fly AA MIA-LAX as your 6th segment? Most people want more transcons, rather than omitting them.
