Not obvious at all. OW=OneWorld, O/W=One way, quite simple I'd think. This was even followed directly by RT which has no other confusing possibilities so it certainly wasn't meant as One Way. I seriously opened the thread only because I thought 1W might have been the IATA code for some new or obscure airline we don't come across often and was curious what it was. Research inspired by the misnomer in this title has revealed that actually 1W IATA code is reserved for one of the GDS companies and will never be used in an airline but didn't know before today.
