Did I get the following right:

- Limitations on oneworld explorer are never ever in sectors (one start, one landing) but always in segments (flight numbers). I ask because even on the official pdf-files explaining the rules it is often confusing (e.g. "Extra paying flight segments: Limited to 2 flight segments within each zone (except continent of origin). For fares see table above." - But there the price per sector is given - either a wrong header in the table or to make it seem cheaper...).

- Surface segments (or if you prefer sectors...) within a continent on oneworld explorer are not counted (neither for the limit of 4 segments per continent nor for that of 20 in total) and there is no limit to their number, neither per continent nor in total.

- Travelling on a global explorer ticket, surface sectors must be included in the milage. Whether they count for the limit in the number of segments seems not to be clear: According to the german version (official pdf-file by oneworld!) they count like a flight-segment, according to some english versions it is not clear as they don't mention anything about that. In my german version there is also a list where surface sectors are allowed - according to this it is not allowed in the South Pacific - very strange, I can't immagine that to be true... What do you think or better know about it???
