Is this really allowed? It directly conflicts with the programme as stated on the oneworld site

where we find
Planning Your Trip
Routings
...
* You may choose to travel by surface transport instead of flying, under the following conditions:
1. Within the country of origin
2. Between the USA and Canada
3. Between Hong Kong and another point in the People's Republic of China
4. Within Africa
5. Between Malaysia and Singapore
If you choose to travel by surface transport between two airports, the most direct flown distance between the origin and destination point of the surface sector will be counted towards your total flown mileage.
