HKG-JNB-SYD considered as illegal backtracking?
 
Hello.

I'm planning a rtw-trip, and just wonder if it's possible to go from Asia to Africa, and then continue towards Australia?

Let's say my itinerary looks like this:
OSL-HEL-NRT-HKG-JNB-SYD-AKL-SCL-NYC-LHR-OSL

With this itinerary I'm heading eastwards between continents except for my HKG-JNB flight . Is this legal or not?

Thank you.

Not legal. You would be breaking this rule:

Code:
113N . 4. TRAVEL MUST BE IN A CONTINUOUS FORWARD 
114N .    DIRECTION BETWEEN AREA 1-AREA-2-AREA 3.

Not legal in Oneworld Explorer, but it should be valid under Global Explorer fare rules...

Or in most mileage-based RTW products. The restriction is primarily to prevent abuse in the unlimited mileage aspects of OWE (do any other unlimited mileage products exist any more?).
