Initial flights in continent of orgin question
It's been a while since my last RTW, but I'm considering a ex-TYO DONE3 since I'll already be in Japan. My plan is NRT-HNL-USA-Europe-Asia. I read somewhere that one cannot use all of your segments before/after the 1st intercontinental flight. Is that the case? What about NRT-HKG-USA-Europe-Asia(3 segments)? Thanks...

I'm not sure I understand your question, but
Yes, that would be valid.
- you are allowed four flight segments in Asia and the fact that your itinerary starts and ends in Asia does not change that
- these will have to be either before your first intercontinental flight, or after the last intercontinental flight, or a mix of both
- as Jerry pointed out, you are allowed only two stopovers in your continent of origin, and you cannot travel via your country of origin (so something like TYO-HKG-xTYO-HNL... would not be valid)
What about NRT-HKG-USA-Europe-Asia(3 segments)?

I know that I cannot renter Japan or go thru TYO until the end of the trip. TYO-HNL-DFW-ANC-DFW-PHX-JFK-MAD-AMM-LHR-DOH-MAD-HGK-CMB-HKG-CGK-TYO Trying to maximize BA TP's, so all flights except > 2000 miles except DFW-PHX. Looks OK to me.
