I plugged a similar routing into the oneworld itinerary planner to see if I could replicate
RTW4's success. Basically, it was DAR-JNB-HKG-SYD-MEL-xHKG-JFK . . . I got a warning saying "your second visit to this continent must be less than 24 hours" when I entered HKG the second time. So it would seem that the 'less than 24 hours' is the key.
RTW4, is your second visit to Asia less than 24 hours?
