I was reffering to normal people's definition of Europe and not the OW one that includes the Middle East (when it suits them to).

If you want to include either Sth Africa and/or Mauritius in your itinerary, then yes I cannot see any way to get two passes through the Europe Zone
This also means they are forcing us to use QR on one of these sectors and BA on the other. Perhaps that was part of the deal with Willie and the QR lot?

(conspriacy theories abound)
Again, only if you want Sth Africa and/or Mauritius
You are allowed say LUN-LHR.....LHR-LUN
Finally it also means one less F sector on an AONEx as to my knowledge QR don't operate an F cabin to any African destination. (Happy to be proven wrong though).
Sadly I think you're right
