yellow, I am aware that there is no direct flight from Auckland to Honolulu, as the oneworld flight scheduler clearly states that it goes via Sydney, with flights operated by QF and AA, or just 2 QF flights. The agent said to me that I could NOT fly this route as there were no flights operated by the one world group that flew this route. I thought maybe this is because it would take me over the flight limit for Australia (I don't know if the flight AKL-HNL via sydney makes the AKL-SYD count as one flight segment in that continent, can anyone clear this up for me?) Now I was then quoted a flight from Auckland-LA via Sydney, which makes my above statement about AKL-SYD then onto LAX invalid (i.e. it doesn't count as a segment in the continent). Sorry if this post is confusing but I think it makes sense.

Any help would be appreciated.
