The rules posted on travel.com.au don't list the # of segments for Asia, but most people on here have said it has been reduced to 4.
Also the rules only seem to prohibit more than one Mideast/Armenia/Cyprus/North Africa from the UK only, would HEL-LCA-LON-DXB-LON or MAD-TLV-LON-DXB-LON be valid under the new rules?
