In regards to surface sectors: In principal they are allowed. However, surface sectors between T2 (Africa/Europe) and T1 (North/South America) are not allowed unless you started your journey in South West Pacific.

It won't be possible unless MX, AA or LA starts a nonstop flight to Africa or QF did something like extending QF17/18 and/or QF63/64 for a EZE-JNB leg.

I don't think so. Circle Pacific fares don't include Africa, and there's no Atlantic crossing to make it a *ONE* fare. Which Oneworld product were you looking at?

Surface sectors don't matter with regard to how many continents are counted. If a continent is touched, it counts; or in the case of ORD-DEL, Europe counts even if it isn't touched.

While surface sectors are generally allowed, certain intercontinental surface sectors are specifically prohibited. As a result you cannot travel between Africa and the Americas by surface segment if that is what you were asking originally (or the Americas and and any other continent other than S. America for that matter unless one originates in the SWP, see the exception below).

(g) Intermediate surface sectors are permitted at the passenger’s expense. Transoceanic surface sectors between TC1-TC2 and TC1-TC3 are not permitted.
EXCEPTION: For travel originating in the South West Pacific, one transoceanic surface sector between TC1-TC2 or TC1-TC3 is permitted.

Your /Transit SYD/ above was your attempt to get around this, but:
- you must cross the Atlantic
- you cannot revisit SWP

Thats what we all thought. However we just established that this is actually not correct and Europe is not counted:
