1. What is the significance of "transit without stopover"? Does this have implications for the number of segments that can be booked?
2. What is the significant of flying A to C via B but with the same flight number all the way (eg. QF107)?
3. Is my reading of the rules correct such that the point of origin in Australia does not need to be the final point (ie. termination)? For example, departing from Brisbane, travelling around the world, and finishing the whole trip in Darwin.
1. It simply means you cannot spend more than 24 hours in the city where you're doing your "transit without stopover." Transit = less than 24 hours, 24 hours or more is a stopover.
2. The entire journey is counted as 1 segment. So SYD-LAX-JFK on QF107 all the way is one segment, whereas SYD-LAX QF149 connecting to LAX-JFK QF107 = 2 segments.
3. Correct.
DESTINATION SURFACE SEGMENTS ARE PERMITTED AS FOLLOW -
A- WITHIN THE COUNTRY OF ORIGIN
B- WITHIN THE MIDDLE EAST
C- BETWEEN THE UNITED STATE AND CANADA
D- BETWEEN HKG AND CHINA
E- BETWEEN MALAYSIA AND SINGAPORE
F- WITHIN AFRICA
