Oops, forgot that one. Thanks for correcting. Nevertheless, as you said, after Africa you have to go to Europe, making such an itinerary (at least) an xONE4 SWP-Africa-Europe-NA/SA-SWP.

To the OP: either go for a xONE4 which would give you plenty of spare sectors to use (especially in Asia) or buy a xGLOB29 and route LHR-MAD-LIM-SCL-IPC-PPT-AKL-SYD-LHR; in the GLOB fare you can use QF codeshares operated by TN (Air Tahiti Nui) and AFAIK TN operates PPT-AKL with QF codeshare. IPC-PPT would be on LA. The total mileage should be around 28k miles and you may have a stopover in PPT.

Maybe they could also extend QF11/12 to SYD-LAX-LHR. Go back to being a round world airline like NZ.;)

If QF re-established the MEX-LHR route via BDA and NAS, I'm sure it'd be a hit with xONEx users!

IIRC correctly, 3 continent fares are only possible from North America, Asia, Europe with a routing involving these three continents. ...

3 Continent is also possible NA-ASIA-SWP-NA or vv; see pandaperth's post #9.

Also possible is SA-NA-ASIA-xNA-SA or variants thereof

Edited to add: Oops - the above starts and ends in SA, which means 'a minimum of a four continent fare'

Possible 3-continent fares begin and end in ASIA or NA, such as:

ASIA-xNA-SA-NA-ASIA or NA-SA-xNA-ASIA-NA

What makes such routings possible are the DEL-ORD flight and the rule which allows a second (transitory) entry to NA.

Agreed, but just barely. SIN is less than 100 miles north of the equator. :p

DPS, CGK, and SUB are located in south of the equator.:)
