Speaking of DBX, I'm doing a 4 continent RTW starting in Europe (Milan), going to NA, etc. I wanted to do LHR-DXB-LHR before going to the USA. I've been told this is backtracking...cannot be done. But when I read the rules, it seems you can backtrack within a continent. Any thoughts on this?</font>
It is fine provided that you only have four segments within Europe, and only two stopovers. So if you do: Milan-LHR-DXB-LHR-<USA>. You will have to transit either DXB or one of the times in London. You may need the other Europe segment to get back to Milan at the end, and that would need to be a transit at the intercontinental gateway as well (unless you only had one stopover on the way out).
I'm not sure I explained that very well, but I hope you get the idea.
