Yes. Any scheduled landing within any of the 6 continents defined in the fare rules counts as having visited that continent.
eg, HKG-xLHR-JFK-SYD-HKG is 4 continents, even though just connecting through Europe.
SYD-DFW-FRA-xSIN-MEL is 4 continents, even though no stopover is made in Asia.

Interesting - thanks for the info. ^

I have has another idea. Can you count LHR - SYD on BA as one flight and therefore do LHR-SYD-LAX-LHR (to be brief) as a 3 continent trip?

You can't redeem miles/points for a oneworld explorer ticket. The oneworld explorer ticket that is discussed in this thread is a paid round the world ticket.
If you want to redeem miles/points and go around the world or something similar and you have AA miles then look at this thread in the aa forum:
http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/ameri...ers-award.html
And this chart on aa.com:

If you have BA miles then you can redeem segment by segment or on multiple carriers by mileage:

If you have points/miles for other carriers you will have to look at the rules for those carriers. Generally, a flight must be available to book it.

No the OWE is a revenue ticket only.

Of course you can redeem miles for a similar route, or parts of one, depending on the particulars of your FF program, and on availability of the sectors. Each FF program will have its own requirements, restrictions, etc. Check in the airline-specific forums for details.

It can count as one flight (if on a single flight number) but it still counts as EUR-ASIA-SWP. From the rules:

As stated earlier any itinerary including SWP must be four continents.

I can't find an up to date price list and the ones from oneworld.com have disappeared. Where can I find the prices?
Is there still a cost difference in starting elsewhere in the EU?

Yes

the wording of the rule (Rule 4(l)) is:


AA1843 is a single plane service from BOS to SEA

I didn't find it mentioned in this thread: can the LCY-JFK flights be included in the oneworld Explorer? The airline seems to be included, but when I try to plan the trip on the web page the flight is never offered (as aren't other flights to/From LCY).

Thanks for a quick info

Yes, BA1/2/3/4 can be used as part of a DONEx or AONEx. I saw it appear on the booking tool a couple of days ago. It will only show up if the D bucket is available on that day.
