Also e.g. South America. You can fly into say Lima from North America, then via SCL on LAN to Easter Island, and then again via SCL to Rio, and then on to Europe or South Pacific and it all still counts as one continent.
But to maintain status for domestic upgrades, better sticking with SkyTeam for DL or using *A for CO.
