No, it's right there in the rules -

72N . 4. TRAVEL MUST BEGIN AND END THE THE SAME POINT
73N . EXCEPT ORIGIN-DESTINATION SURFACE PERMITTED AS
74N . FOLLOWS:
75N . * WITHIN COUNTRY OF ORIGIN
76N . * BETWEEN U.S.A-CANADA
77N . * WITHIN AFRICA
78N . * WITHIN THE MIDDLE EAST
79N . * BETWEEN HKG-CHINA
80N . * BETWEEN BANGLADESH-BKK/SIN
81N . * WITHIN SOUTH AMERICA
82N . * BETWEEN MALAYSIA-SIN

Best you read the sticky threads at the top of this forum.

Happy planning!
