Well I have to retract this statement.
I have been trying various itineraries in the on-line tool – and my opinion now is that the tool has not yet been updated to handle the new rule for a second transit of Europe.
The current situation with the on-line appears to be:
If one transit to/from Africa is via the Europe Zone
And the other transit is via the Middle East Zone
Then flights between the zones are flagged as errors (which was correct under the old rules)
Unless the flight to/from Africa from/to the Middle East Zone happens to be either QR’s DOH-MPM flight or the return flight MPM-DOH!
I tried it with the flight being DOH-NBO/WDH/CPT/JNB and got errors every time.
So I now think the tool is unchanged, as yet, and that I uncovered an existing bug that allowed intra-zone flights when there was DOH-MPM or v.v.
