I'm trying to make my rtw trip using the zone based explorer, however it is not clear what kind of airlines we are able to flight during this rtw trip.

Reading the oneworld.com site and brochure we are entitled to fly big names + some weird useless affiliates (ie QantasLink for example)

I'm looking for some stops in the pacific, mainly: NAN, RAR, PPT from OZ/NZ to LAX. However this is not possible with oneworld obviously...however I could manage to buy a South Pacific Pass or PolyPass to start from OZ or NZ.

I went to www.polynesianairlines.co.nz and...**** surprise, it says: "In September 2001, Polynesian Airlines joined the Global Explorer Fare as a participating carrier"
Argh ! so it means I could probably use polynesian airlines to do the stops I want. All that is not crystal clear so any help appreciated !
