Hopefully someone can help me out with this question.
My sister is currently looking to book an explorer ticket from Israel.
Her current itinerary looks something like this:
TLV - MAD - SAO - SCL - ARI - SCL - SYD - MEL - PER - MEL - HKG - LHR
My questions:
1. The fare rules seem to suggest that TLV is part of Europe, so the lack of direct flights from Asia to Israel on OW carriers means that they can only get to europe and must make their own way back to TLV - is this correct ?
2. is the continent of origin counted in the number of continents counted ?
3. on the basis of this itinerary (and assuming the answer to 2 above to be yes), it appears to be a *ONE4. That would mean that the only room for extra side trips would be 3 more in Asia - is this correct ?
4. Other than (2) above, can anyone throw in some useful suggestions as to other mileage/trip maximisers based around this itinerary ?
