Great forum! Several questions come to mind after reading prior posts:

1) If I take QF # 301 SYD-LHR (direct flight with stop in BKK), is this one segment? Did I go directly South Pacific to Europe without stopping in Asia, as per the terms of an ATW ticket?.

You are deemed to have gone through Asia, but should you want to route through Asia again (eg NA-Asia-SWP) you can do so. This is why Aus RTW tickets are minimum 4 continents (ie SWP, Asia, Europe, NA).

<font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2">2) Maximum segs on ATW is 20. Is there a mileage limit in BC or FC?

THANKS.

If you are doing a ONE4/5/6 (OneWorld Explorer there is no mileage limit only segment limit- irrespective of class). If you are doing a GLOBXX (Global Explorer) then there are mileage limits - IIRC 29-34k -range. The XX stands for the 000s of miles allowed on the ticket.
