The minor problem being that there are no OW flights US-Africa, so it is currently impossible to book such a routing on a OWE ticket. However, when AA starts to fly JFK-JNB, you can certainly book that. From either North or South America you must presently route through Europe to get back to Africa, so Europe is mandatory continent on this type of ticket. If you want to add Australia, you will have to buy another continent.

From my talks with BA in MRU it seems there was a little subjective discretion here regarding using London as a transit, however now thay have the MRU - JNB a few more options have opened up giving them reasons to refuse connections via London when an easier/shorter option is available.

In fact as flights from MRU - JNB - HKG is not available until the 20th Jan she offered to try MRU - LHR - HKG and do JNB/CPT at the end. Of course they may not allow it if I dropped Europe entirely...but that is what I want to find out on a AONE5 as follows

Africa - Asia - Australia - North America - South America - Africa

If they dont agree, I can always drop South America and include Europe.

I will know only on Monday.

No need to wait until Monday as the answer will be NO. As #6 stated above, you cannot get to Africa from either North or South America without connecting in Europe. And if you touch the continent, you pay for it even if you don't get off the plane (except the AA ORD-DEL flight).

You must add Europe to the above itin. That makes it an AONE6. If you want an AONE5, you must drop South America.
