QF is only monopoly in Australia, or monopoly in Oceania in the sense it is the sole oneworld member based in Oceanai; NZ is the monopoly that covers the islands (intra-islands, AKL-islands and LAX-islands) and it's in Star.

Isn't Air Pacific (Fiji's flag carrier) a partner of AA? oneworld has very decent Asian members - CX and JL. Too bad CX don't fly between USA and Europe like SQ does JFK-FRA or AI JFK-LHR

I think JL does Vancouver-Mexico City and/or NYC-Sao Paolo?
