DONEW3 routing advice please?

Hello,

I am looking at a DONEW3 routing ex South Africa heading to Hong Kong and then Australia. When I get to Australia I want to visit some of the tropical islands such as Fiji, New Caledonia, Tahiti etc.

My question is:

Qantas sell code share flights on Air Pacific, there is a QF flight number - QF395 but it is on Air pacific metal. As part of a DONEW3 can I get on that flight? Melbourne - Nadi - Melbourne.

If the above is allowed does the following routing work?

CPT-JNB-DBN-JNB-HKG-PEK
PVG-HKG-SIN-MEL-NAN-MEL-BNE-MEL(buy this ticket)-SYD-JNB-CPT

Is the above routing OK? I will catch the train between Shanghai and Beijing.

I assume you mean a circle trip explorer, DONEWC3.
No you can't use the air pacific operated flight on a circle trip explorer. See:
F. Travel is not permitted on any codeshare services other than those operated by AY/BA/CX/IB/JL/KA/LA/MA/NU/QF/RJ/S7.
Other codeshare services not permitted with the exception of QF Codeshare services operated by Jetstar (JQ).
Additionally, travel permitted on the following airlines which are affiliated with/or wetlease providers
to oneworld.

British Airways BA CityFlyer including flights operated by Flightline, Comair,
Sun-Air of Scandinavia

Iberia Airlines Air Nostrum, Gestair

Japan Airlines J-Air

Malev Base Ltd

Qantas Alliance Airlines, QantasLink operated by Eastern Australia, Jetconnect, National Jet Systems, and Sunstate Airlines

Siberia Airlines Globus

Ground transportation services operated by/for BA/QF may not be included as part of the Oneworld Circle Trip Explorer.
As with a oneworld explorer your surface transits between airports will count as part of your segment limit.

Does Qantas Alliance Airlines constitute Jetstar and JetConnect? I read that earlier and thought they may have included the airlines I mentioned in my previous post.

No. You mentioned Air Pacific in your previous post. Alliance Airlines is a separate affiliate. The quote listed each oneworld airline and each affiliate. So Qantas has the following affiliates whose services you can use:
Alliance Airlines
QantasLink operated by Eastern Australia
Jetconnect
National Jet Systems
Sunstate Airlines

You can review the rules yourself here:

Jetstar Metal can be used (for L class), but only when booked with the QF codeshare flight number:

However, this isn't helpful when booking a D class OW product. JQ does not have a D bucket, nor does the QF code. Thus you can only book into L.

eg:
JQ flight SIN-MEL (just looking at today's availability...)
JQ8 J4 Y4 B4 V4 T4 S4 R4 Q4 P4 O4 N4 M4 E4 L4 K4 A4 H4 I4
QF292 Y9 B9 H9 K9 M9 L9 V9 S9 N9 Q9 O9 X9

and a random JQ operated domestic flight... SYD-AVV
JQ625 Y4 B4 V4 T4 S4 R4 Q4 P4
QF5625 Y9 B9 H9 K9
