Do outbound sectors count?
Hi,
I have always counted the sectors to include the outbound departure from the continent as one sector, that was an old rule for RTWs at one point. Having re-read the rules
FLIGHT SEGMENTS
1. 20 FLIGHT SEGMENT MAXIMUM INCLUDING FREE/PURCHASED FLIGHT SEGMENTS FOR THIS FARE
2. FREE FLIGHT SEGMENTS WITHIN EACH CONTINENT ARE LIMITED AS FOLLOWS:
CONTINENT NUMBER OF FREE FLIGHT SEGMENTS
NORTH AMERICA 6
Therefore, you are entirely correct. I am sorry to have caused angst but even those who used to do it all the time don't notice the change in interpretation if we have not done it for a while. However, I shall use it to my advantage at some point soon!
Happy landings and may the Platinum upgrade be with you.
