Please help me check my itinerary
I am trying to validate an itinerary lax-syd-hkg-sin-lhr-ams-lgw-dfw-sju-bgi-mia-lax, but I get an error indicating at the SJU-BGI segment that a second international departure is not allowed. Could you check that out or am I misinformed that BGI is part of NA.

Since you started in USA you can only leave US/Canada once. SJU-BGI is the second exit from USA and thus not allowed.
The way around it is to do BGI on a side trip, or start from another country (and not Canada - for the purpose of this rule USA & Canada are the same country).

For the purposes of the oneworld explorer fare there is North America the continent and USA/Canada the country. The rule your itinerary breaks, as per Kiwi Flyer's post, relates to the country, not the continent.
