Sorry just looking through this thread and wondering related question on this "intercontinental departure/arrival" exceptions rule quoted here for xONEx routings
when it says "2 permitted in North America" does that mean i can route Asia-North America-South America-North America-Europe-Asia? I have booked xONEx before but only Asia-NA-Europe-Asia because I thought couldnt go from NA to SA and back to NA before going to Europe - always have a preference to go back to North America instead of flying directly from south america to europe particularly with the limited routing options.
and likewise for Asia - does that mean I can go Japan-Europe-NA-HKG-Australia-Japan?
The North America "second entry" option is only for itineraries that include South America, and one of the entries must be an intercontinental transit without stopover, e.g. HKG-
xLAX-SCL....LAX-JFK-MIA.... LHR
The policy seems to have changed in practice regarding the "second Asia entry" issue. Previously, one of the Asia entries also had to be while in transit to another continent, typically Australia/NZ, but I'm not sure if stopovers in Asia following both entries are now allowed.
