As Himeno said - not until a oneworld airline flies Africa-Americas (North or South)
Or, if they allowed a trans-Atlantic surface segment on ex-Africa itineraries (like they do on ex-South West Pacific itineraries)
As an aside - it IS possible to construct an ex-South West Pacific 3-continent itinerary (a trivial example is SYD-SCL,JNB-SYD)
But there is no fare for such an itinerary, so presumably one would be charged the 4-continent fare
I know the rules prohibit it, but couldn't a three-continent ex-Africa be Africa-Europe-Asia, such as JNB-LHR-HKG-JNB? All direct flights, no extra continent "touching."
