The guy at the RTW desk says that they're not going through because my previous segment is an open AA segment HNL-SYD. If that segment were to be confirmed AA (happens to be a codeshare on QF metal) then these other codeshares would go through as well.
I have yet to find an easy way to look up the traffic restrictions in Sabre. Those flights could have any one of them, as detailed in the
wiki, and prior knowledge would make it much easier. I believe it's a snap to see them in Amadeus (it will be right in the DO format, which is Amadeus' combination of Sabre's V* and 2 formats).
