simple xONE question

is this allowed:
Europe-NYC-GIG-NYC-LAX-SYD-etc

so is it allowed to come back to a continent you have already been or is it considered as back tracking?

Thanks

You can only do that without a stopover in the continent you're going back to on your way to another continent. So if you take the JFK-(LAX)-SYD QF flight, you should be OK, but you can't stay in LAX, nor can you travel to other places in North America.

Quoth the star file:

28N . CONTINENT EXCEPT AS FOLLOWS:

Yes, I confer.. you'd have to do EU-GIG via NYC in one day or.. within 24 hours of connecting in NYC... then you can do GIG-NYC...etc. enroute to SYD.
