aone6 validity check

hi,
i am planning another aone6 ex-mru and would like to know if this is a valid routing before i send it to ba. i think i have maxed out the exceptions for double entry into asia, usa and europe but i'm unsure if by doing a bi-continental double connection to get to das i have violated a rule i am unaware of.
could you have a look and let me know if it's ok? (i know the legs on lan will all be in biz (not first) class).
thanks very much.

I haven't put it into mileage monkey but it seems okay.

Note you could save a segment by booking single flight number between LHR and SYD

No (and never will). Only QF and BA has single flight numbers UK to Oz. The advantage routing via HKG is better for jet lag and a part-day stopover in HKG which is often useful, along with the better CX service. QF only becomes interesting once they deploy A380s on the kangaroo route, and that is more than a year away.

the OW choices are BA via BKK or SIN, or QF via HKG or BKK or SIN
