THEN
"TRAVEL MAY NOT INCLUDE ANY FLOWN OR SURFACE SECTOR BETWEEN EUROPE AND MIDDLE EAST"
IF you want a Europe-Middle East sector in your itinerary, then have your two visits to Europe/Middle East be to/from the same ZONE
For example these are valid:
JNB-xDOH-JFK...HKG-LHR-DOH-NBO (both visits to/from the Middle East zone and with Europe-Middle East sectors)
DAR-LHR-MCT-LHR-HKG...JFK-xLHR-NBO (both visits in the Europe zone and with Europe-Middle East sectors)
I think you are missing this part
Code:
//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//
which precludes those routings.
