In the wiki, it mentions that
"You can backtrack within countries and continents, but you cannot re-enter a continent after leaving it, except: (a) a transit without stopover in Asia on a flight between Europe and SWP or vice versa..."
In a 2007 post earlier in this thread, quoting the Sabre universal star file, the Oneworld Explorer rules wording at that time was "transit without stopover or on a direct single plane service between the Southwest Pacific and Europe".
I just read again for the first time in a few years the Oneworld Explorer Rules
https://www.oneworld.com/documents/1...9-d346ec820edf
which now state in 4.e that
"
Only one intercontinental departure and one intercontinental arrival permitted in each continent except as follows: ...
2. Two permitted in Asia when one is for travel between the Southwest Pacific and Europe/Middle East."
So the rules now just read that an extra intercontinental arrival and intercontinental departure are permitted in Asia.
What does this change mean?
1. Can there now be a stopover in Asia after the extra intercontinental arrival before the extra intercontinental departure to Southwest Pacific?
The new wording would appear to increase flexibility of the ticket at little cost to the airlines.
2. Should the wiki be updated?
Thanks
