Greetings from Canada. I am currently planning a OW Explorer 4 continents from NA to Asia-Africa-Europe-NA. I read and reread the rules on the oneworld website and still can not interpret whether or not the segments between each continent are allowed as an uncounted segment or if they are caculated as being one of the 4 segments permitted for each continent (i.e. is each contintent's final departure and/ or first arrival flight counted as a segment? Also, the website says that you are not allowed to return to your airport point of entry for each contintent....does this rule apply to transit flights also? I really wish the website would list all clear black and white rules without being so vague on important questions. Also, do you know if I am permitted to make my own way between continents as some of the connections between continents are quite limited? Finally, does anyone know the One World RTW phone info line for Canada? Your help, advice, and guidance to this novice RTW traveller would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you in advance for any help.

Tim
