I'd like to fly the outbound on something like NRT-DFW-SCL because of time constraints, but I don't care for the rest. Would there be a Explorer fare that fits this? I don't know if I have time to stop in North America, but if it's required to fulfil a continent rule then I'd find a way.
I was wondering if something like NRT-DFW-SCL, SCL-IPC-SCL (overnight so maybe less than 24 hours), SCL-AKL-SYD-NRT would work?
As wandering_fred posted, your itinerary is a Circle Trip Explorer, not a Oneworld Explorer.
You didn't say what fare class you'd be in, so I'm going to assume Business Class
Circle Trip Explorer
If South America is included, then the fare basis is DCIR29SA
Maximum Permitted Miles = 29,000
Minimum stopovers = 2
Maximum free stopovers = 6
Additional stopovers USD150ea
Base Fare ex-Japan JPY859,300
Easter Island is allowed
Cannot be booked on-line
Your itinerary is valid -
NRT-xDFW-SCL-IPC-xSCL-SYD-NRTOneWorld Explorer
