Ask her to check that in the rules. My interpretation of this rule would imply you can use the codeshares:
Code:
22N APPLICATION/ 1. APPLIES TO FIRST/BUSINESS/ECONOMY/RTW
23N . TRAVEL
24N . 2. VIA AA/AY/BA/CX*/DI**/EI/IB/LA/LP/QF
25N . INCLUDING CODESHARES OPERATED *ONLY*
26N . BY THESE CARRIERS AND THEIR AFFILIATES
27N . AS LISTED IN N*/OW AFFILIATES.
28N . *TRAVEL NOT PERMITTED ON CX FLTS BETWEEN
29N . HONG KONG AND VIETNAM.
30N . **EFF FOR TICKETS ISSUED ON/AFTER 06JUN02
31N . DI CANCELLED.
32N . - OTHER CODESHARE SERVICES NOT PERMITTED.
Line 24N says that codeshares on OW carriers is permitted.

Not true. You only have to keep travelling in the one direction
between continents, not
within continents. Here is the rule:
Code:
134N . 2. TRAVEL MUST BE IN A CONTINUOUS FORWARD
135N . DIRECTION BETWEEN AREA 1-AREA 2-AREA 3.
136N . BACKTRACK WITHIN A CONTINENT PERMITTED
137N . EXCEPT AS FOLLOWS.
138N . - TRAVEL VIA THE ORIGINAL POINT OF ORIGIN
139N . NOT PERMITTED.
140N . **EXCEPTION: ORIGIN AUSTRALIA IN
141N . CONJUNCTION WITH TRAVEL TO PAPUA NEW
142N . GUINEA WHEN ONE IS TRANSIT WITHOUT S/0
143N . - BACKTRACK BETWEEN HAWAII AND THE
144N . CONTINENTAL U.S/CANADA NOT PERMITTED.
The only restrictions on the continent of origin is that you can only depart form, and one arrival into the country of origin (Australia in your case) once. See this rule:
Code:
160N . 4. 1 INTL DEPARTURE AND 1 INTL ARRIVAL
161N . FROM/TO THE COUNTRY OF ORIGIN PERMITTED
162N . EXCEPT AS FOLLOWS.
163N . - ORIGIN AUSTRALIA - 2 PERMITTED.
164N . 1 ARRIVAL-DEPARTURE MUST BE A TRANSIT
165N . WITHOUT STOPOVER IN CONJUNCTION WITH
166N . TRAVEL TO PAPUA NEW GUINEA.
167N . - ORIGIN USA - 2 PERMITTED.
168N . 1 ARRIVAL-DEPARTURE MUST BE A TRANSIT
169N . WITHOUT STOPOVER.
170N . NOTE: TRAVEL BTWN US/CA IS NOT COUNTED AS
171N . INTERNATIONAL DEPARTURE/ARRIVAL.

Yes, I would make that 4 sectors in SWP, and so long as you are still under the total 20 sectors then that should be ok.

Looks like 21 to me. I think the LAX-JFK-MAD has thrown up problems. What do you say? Thanks again for your prompt responses.
Yes, I make that 21 segments, so you need to drop one. You could perhaps go AKL-ADL-PER-SYD at the end with the new AKL-ADL flight that was announced last week.
