THE PERFECT 4 CONTINENT OWE RTW
Dear All!
I am planning a RTW tour this year and I get lost in the rules&resctictions of all the RTW ticket offers!
I realized that the best offer is the One World Explorer.
So I will need your help to maximize my trip starting from Europe, touching Asia, Australia and South America...
So here is my MUST SEE LIST.
Question; can I fit all these in this ticket??? thanks a lot in advance! Best Regards to all, BUNYI
START FROM BUDAPEST
LONDON
RIO
EASTER ISLANDS
BUENOS AIRES
LIMA
AUCKLAND
SYDNEY
PERTH
DARWIN
TOKYO
HONG KONG
BEIJING
SINGAPORE
HELSINKI
FINISH IN BUDAPEST

You either have to skip Rio or just buy a round trip ticket from Buenos Aires. Runs about 300 euro. There might be a way of doing all LIM, IPC, RIO, EZE that I missed, but I doubt it.

Well you'd have to pay the supplement (USD150 per segment) for the two extra segments in South America but you could do it all within 20 segments:

You could also do:
bud-lon-mad-lim-eze-gru/gig-scl-ipc-scl or
BUD-LON-GIG/GRU-EZE-LIM-SCL-IPC-SCL-etc,
then pick up a cheap GIG-GRU segment, alhough may involve an overnight in GRU, negating any savings of buying the 2nd SA segment.
bud-lon-mad-lim-eze-gru/gig-scl-ipc-scl or

You can't do ...akl-syd-drw-per-syd-sin. Only one trip between syd-drw and per-syd is allowed. You could do any of the following:
akl-bne-drw-per-syd-sin
akl-syd-drw-per-bne-sin
akl-syd-drw-per-sin
akl-syd-per-drw-bne-sin
akl-syd-per-drw-sin
And several other iterations I didn't list.
akl-bne-drw-per-syd-sin
akl-syd-drw-per-bne-sin
akl-syd-drw-per-sin
akl-syd-per-drw-bne-sin
akl-syd-per-drw-sin
And several other iterations I didn't list.

Hmmm... well the rule is:
83N . 7. WITHIN AUSTRALIA - 1 NONSTOP OR SINGLE PLANE
84N . FLIGHT PERMITTED BETWEEN THE FOLLOWING
85N . CITIES:
86N .
87N . BNE/CNS/SYD AND PER
88N . EXCEPTION - NO RESTRICTION BETWEEN SYD-PER FOR
89N . PASSENGERS ORIGINATING PER OR NEW ZEALAND WHEN
90N . IN CONJUNCTION WITH TRAVEL TO/FROM AFRICA
91N .
92N . MEL/SYD AND DRW
Is there a logical AND or a logical OR at line 91? It's not totally clear to me.
