Hi
Firstly thanks for all of the really useful info on this forum. I am starting to look at a xONEx and because of holiday allowance restrictions am planning to start in TYO and travel eastbound with first holiday in North/Central America. Then have a break in Europe until my next holiday year when I'd like to travel out to SYD for a coupe of South Pacific visits then via Asia to TYO before travelling home.
The question I have is on how to best use my EU/ME segments. I am UK based and thinking of a couple of shorter trips to Jordan and Morocco. For these short trips it would be easiest but not essential to depart from UK although I could do a self funded reposition. For 2nd main holiday to SYD I'm thinking I don't want to be departing from UK to avoid steep APD. With the 4 segment limit I'm thinking I'm being too optimistic but would appreciate any advice. The other idea was to not travel to UK with xONEx but use DUB as a hub but I have checked for direct routes to possible short holiday destinations,
