Now I'm confused again.
In the Terms and conditions part of the Circle Asia & South West Pacific page, it says:
Travel between two airports by surface transportation is at the passenger’s expense and counts as one flight segment. Surface sectors must be included in the total mileage
...
Where a passenger disembarks at one point and re-embarks at a subsequent point en route, the points count as a single stopover.
it doesn't say that in the fare rules.
