OW RTW rules questions.

Earlier today I called AA in Sweden to ask about RTW prices. I am asking for my mothers trip and the only place she needs to visit is POM. I got a price for 17000SEK for 4 continents. Why 4 continents? I asked if I would really visit Asia since I am taking a single flight number from LHR-SYD. Was the agent right? Does it count as I visit Asia even though I havent got any flight to and from there?

Sorry, it's in the rule book...

1/ TRAVEL MUST INCLUDE A MINIMUM OF THREE CONTINENTS INCLUDING THE CONTINENT OF
ORIGIN.

ITINERARIES WHICH INCLUDE EUROPE AND THE SW PACIFIC MUST BE A MINIMUM OF FOUR
CONTINENTS.

TRAVEL BETWEEN AUSTRALIA AND EUROPE ON A SINGLE FLIGHT NUMBER IS CONSIDERED
TRAVELING SW - PACIFIC ASIA-EUROPE THROUGH THREE CONTINENTS.

I did London/Melbourne on Qantas aircraft, booked as a British Airways flight, ticket issued by American Airlines. I was not charged for Asia.
