RTW - Minimum stopovers?
I searched, but couldn't find anything. However, I seem to remember seeing something somewhere about a RTW ticket requiring a minimum of 3 stopovers. Is there a required minimum for OneWorld, or am I thinking of another alliance?

I'm not aware of a minimum number of stopovers (at least for a oneworld Explorer), though there's a maximum of 2 in the continent of origin. There's a minimum of 3 segments required. You also can't return to the point of origin within 10 days but that obviously doesn't directly affect the number of stopovers.

There is no minimum stopover requirement on a xONEx. However, for most tickets there is a 10 day minimum rule (with exceptions for D/A departures from the SW Pacific).
