Continents South West Pacific, Asia and Europe/Middle East must each be counted
So doesn't that actually contradict the whole 'xONEx from the southern hemisphere is now possible' spruik?
A southern hemisphere 3-continent itinerary would:
- include Africa, South America and South West Pacific, and
- exclude Europe/Middle East, North America and Asia
The rule about flights between SWP and Europe/Middle having to include Asia in effect excludes the 3-continent possibility of SWP-Europe/Middle East- Sth Am or Nth AM - SWP
