xONEx Routing Query
Hi, apologies if I've missed this elsewhere but I've tried to parse the rules a few times now. I'm trying to plan a DONE3 route which I think is valid but the oneworld.com tool barfs at due to "number of sectors". It is under 16 overall so I think this must be a Europe specific issue. The route is:
TFS-MAD-LHR-LAS-LAX-SFO-HKG-BKK-SIN-HKG-DXB-LHR-MAD-TFS
The only Europe sector I need to be an actual stopover is DXB - ie. the segment view is starting TFS-LAS and ending with HKG-DXB-TFS. Am I hitting a sector in home continent or similar ruling? If so is there any obvious way around this (I would strongly prefer BA on the longer flights) - would it help to be ex-MAD (or even ex-LHR but I'm assuming this would hit the taxes and ticket price...)
Many thanks for any advice.

Too many sectors in Eu from MM . MM is not up to date but a fair guide.
DXB is in Eu accoriing to OneWorld. http://gc.kls2.com/cgi-bin/gc?PATH=T...NGE_STYLE=best
Origin: TCI (es); ex-TCI xONEx Fare Estimate
1: TFS-MAD: 1st of 4 (Europe)
2: MAD-LHR: 2nd of 4 (Europe)
3: LHR-LAS: 1st of 1 (intercontinental entry to North America without immediate transit & departure)
Error!!! No oneworld service exists LHR-LAS
4: LAS-LAX: 1st of 6 (North America)
5: LAX-SFO: 2nd of 6 (North America)
6: SFO-HKG: 1st of 1 (intercontinental entry to Asia without immediate transit & departure)
7: HKG-BKK: 1st of 4 (Asia)
8: BKK-SIN: 2nd of 4 (Asia)
9: SIN-HKG: 3rd of 4 (Asia)
10: HKG-DXB: intercontinental
11: DXB-LHR: 3rd of 4 (Europe)
12: LHR-MAD: 4th of 4 (Europe)
13: MAD-TFS: 5th of 4 (Europe)
Rule violated!!!! [MAD-TFS] Max 4 segment(s): Europe
1 serious error detected. This is likely to be an invalid itinerary (27177 miles)

Got you - thanks. I'd seen other print outs form this tool but now I know where to find it 
As BA now fly LHR-LAS I assume thats just an old data set but from the overall side looks like I need to either re-route or purchase TFS-MAD separately.
