This is not correct. As I noted previously, there are exceptions to the "same country" rule. While you cannot start in CAI and end in LHR you could end in DXB or TLV, as they are all classified as "Middle East"; or start in YVR and end in LAX (US/Canada exception); or start in SCL and end in EZE (South America exception).
Here is the specific rule;
113N . 4. ORIGIN-DESTINATION SURFACE PERMITTED:
114N . -WITHIN COUNTRY OF ORIGIN.
115N . NOTE: U.S./CANADA ARE CONSIDERED THE SAME
116N . COUNTRY.
117N . -WITHIN AFRICA
118N . -WITHIN THE MIDDLE EAST
119N . -BETWEEN HKG-CHINA
120N . -BETWEEN BANGLADESH AND BKK/SIN
121N . -WITHIN SOUTH AMERICA
122N . -BETWEEN MAYLAYSIA AND SIN

Ahhhhh, now I see. Boy am I glad you 'splained that to me-- I'd much rather finish the trip in DXB than CAI (unless I buy another ex-CAI ticket in the next few days.....)
