DONE5 ex JNB
 
Just had a thought the other day.

Can you do the following routing on a DONE5?:


JNB-SYD-JFK-LHR-HKG-JNB

The answer is 'No'
You have to keep moving, from continent to continent, in a continuous direction - eastbound or westbound
Your routing starts out eastbound: JNB-SYD-JFK-LHR-HKG
then you head westbound: HKG-JNB.

The actual rule is:

TC1 is the Americas,
TC2 is Europe/Africa and
TC3 is Asia/SWP

A routing such as JNB-SYD-HKG-JFK-LHR-JNB complies with the rules

Actually the LHR-HKG is invalid (backtracking) according to Mileage Monkey. Here are 2 tools that were invaluable when I planned my first RTW (which I'm on)...

You are right Nickvore - I missed that :o

Thanks.

I don't understand how am I backtracking as I have not entered Asia on the way to SYD.

Is it because of the Tc2 restriction?
