Suggestion re Africa

Suggestion to oneworld4u

Some African countries are simply impossible to travel to on a OW Explorer because they can only be reached from Europe.
For instance: Libya, Senegal, Sierra Leone, Angola, Zambia, Equatorial Guinea
So - the only way to fly into any of these countries is from Europe, and the only way to fly out from any of these countries is by flying back to Europe

But to do so would entail visiting Europe twice - and the rules don't allow this

My suggestion is that:
  • either they should be added to the list of African countries that are defined to be part of Europe (particularly Libya - to complete the row of Nth African countries bordering the Med)
  • or they should be added to the list of countries from/to which a second European entry/exit is allowed (the one with immediate transfer to another continent)
