Middle East Flight Rules
 
Have the rules changed? I thought one could only do 2 flights between the Middle East & Europe, but I can't see that in the rules anymore. So are these routings valid:
1) MIA-JFK-DOH-LHR-DOH-AKL-HKG-JFK-MIA
2) MIA-LHR-DOH-OSL-LHR-DOH-AKL-HKG-JFK-MIA
3) MIA-LHR-DOH-LHR-AUH-LHR-SYD-HKG-ORD-MIA
Thanks.

Nothing wrong with the first routing and you could add more EUR/ME segments (DOH-OSL-DOH or LHR-OSL-DOH, etc). The two LHR-DOH flights in the second violate this rule:
(i) The same city pairs/sectors cannot be flown more than once in the same direction.

The rule allowing four flight segments in Europe/Middle East used to have the words:
*not more than 2 of which may be between the UK and ALBANIA, ALGERIA, BULGARIA, CROATIA, CYPRUS, GREECE, MIDDLE EAST, MOROCCO, ROMANIA, RUSSIA west of the Urals, TUNISIA, TURKEY, UKRAINE.
But those words were removed - back in 2016

As jerry a. laska has pointed out, your second itinerary violates another rule; your first and third itineraries are fine
