Total distance flown is 23132miles.

I missed the point that Kingfisher is only available in global explorer.

What I would like to add to this routing is DXB.

The routing would then be :
BRU-CHI-MIA-LAS-LAX(stopover)-HND-PEK-HKG(stopover)-HYD-surface segment-HYD-DXB-LHR(stopover)-BRU

Total distance flown would become 23319miles.



I did not really visit any part in Europe with my oneworld explorer itinerary. (Except leaving from BRU and arriving back in BRU. That's why I mentioned this.)
If you touch a continent you pay for it. Starting in EUR you have to pay for EUR. Also DXB, for purposes of oneworld explorer is part of EUR (actually EUR/ME).

On a westbound xonex if you want to go to HYD you will have to fly to another Indian gateway and do HYD as a side trip outside the xonex. If you reorder your continents and go eastbound you could use the BA service to HYD but you would still have to do a surface segment to another Indian gateway to continue to your other Asian stops.
