Not sure if the actual next segment has to be the transit or whether you can slip in a segment to get to the intercontinental departure before your 24 hours are up.
I am sooooo bummed. I really want to go to NOU and I think it will be quite expensive to buy a ticket. I also want to visit POM and will end up buying a ticket. So does it some how make sense to to a Global Explorer and a DONE4?
About NA, I'll have to change that as I want the stop to be after SA and before I move to Italy. Before I go to SA 24 hours is fine to repack before heading to SA.
