Just an update, and to confirm that my undestranding of the rules is correct.

Currently flying back into SYD, and we need stays in SYD, CNS and then SYD again - this is against the rules, as it will be three stopovers in continent of origin.

I am advising that the AONE4 will consist of (towards the end) HKG-AKL-xSYD-CNS-SYD-xBNE-SYD, so the first SYD will be a transit, CNS will be the first stopover, the second SYD will be the second stopover, and BNE will be an overnight transit. This will amount to four sectors, two stopovers within the continent of origin. This will be within the rules, won't it?

Nested into all that will be AKL-SYD-AKL, probably in steerage, but who knows.

So, flying into AKL on the AONE4, out on the nested side trip, a few months in SYD, back to AKL on the nested side-trip to resume the AONE4, AKL-SYD in A on either QF or LA (yeah, I know difficult) then up to CNS and so on.

Any thoughts on this one?
