The new rules are live for areas that are already at 10/30 (e.g. AKL).

There appear to be a bunch of new rules for travel to/from Africa.

               UK AND ALBANIA/ALGERIA/BULGARIA/CROATIA

               /MOROCCO/ROMANIA/RUSSIA/TUNISIA/TURKEY
               /UKRAINE.
               //NOT MORE THAN 2 OF WHICH MAY BE BETWEEN
               RUSSIA WEST OF THE URALS AND RUSSIA EAST OF
               THE URALS.//
               //SEGMENTS BETWEEN EUROPE AND MIDDLE EAST
               ARE NOT PERMITTED IF TRAVEL INCLUDES AFRICA
               AND THE ITINERARY UTILISES THE BACKTRACKING
               PROVISION IN PARAGRAPH 4.E.3.1.3 OR 3.2.3//

Code:

                FOR TRAVEL ORIGINATING OTHER THAN IN AFRICA
                ONE OF THE FOLLOWING BACKTRACKS IS

                 SURFACE SECTOR BETWEEN EUROPE AND THE
                 MIDDLE EAST.

So, you cannot do LHR-DXB-LHR-JNB-DOH...??

Item K has changed too:

Code:

K. 1. TRAVEL BETWEEN SOUTH WEST PACIFIC AND EUROPE
                /MIDDLE EAST ON A SINGLE FLIGHT NUMBER/OR BY
                SURFACE IS CONSIDERED TRAVELLING SWP-ASIA-
                EUROPE/MIDDLE EAST THROUGH THREE CONTINENTS.

They are still saying MEL-DOH or SYD-DXB would have to include Asia.
