This rule is simply stupid !
It would be enough to limit the routings to " no backtracking ", may be with the exeption, where no oneworld direct Routing aply, a MPM+25% is allowed.
Which kind of logic is behind this rule ? Them only not want people to fly Europe-HKG-Indian Sub. on CX, for the lower milage, and this them already reach with the MPM+25% rule.
Or is there any other reason, why people should not fly via AUH or DOH to Australia ? From Europe it`s absolutly straight on the way.
