According to Oneworld Explorer rule sheet:
https://www.oneworld.com/documents/1...9-d346ec820edf
Two permitted in Europe/Middle East:
For travel originating other than Africa:
Europe/Middle East - Africa - Europe/Middle East
One of the visits to Europe/Middle East must be a transfer without stopover between Africa and the previous/next continent.
If travel to/from Europe in both directions, itinerary may not include Mauritius/South Africa
xLHR-CPT-xLHR is to/from Europe in both directions. So you can not go to South Africa(CPT).
CAI-LHR-JNB-xDOH-BKK-... is permitted.
CAI-LHR-NBO-xLHR-BKK-...is permitted.
Furthermore,
xMAD-KEF-xTXL-DME-xDOH-CAI
contains 5 segments in Europe/Middle East. Only 4 segments are permitted in Europe/Middle East continent.
EDIT EDIT *** (With CAI-LHR, there are 6 segments in Europe/ME continent) *** EDIT EDIT
Because you have to do
One of the visits to Europe/Middle East must be a transfer without stopover between Africa and the previous/next continent.
For example, you cann't do
CAI-xLHR-JNB-xDOH-xLHR-BKK
DOH has to be a transit point between Africa and the previous/next continent(Asia/SWP/N.A).
