OW AirPass?
Does OneWorld have an AirPass similar to StarAlliance or SK AirPass?
For example, if I was to arrive on a BA/QF/CX flight from Australia and needed add-on coupons for intra-European flights then how do I go about it? If there is such a thing then where can I find more info about it?
Suggestions please...

Thanks for your suggestions.
Seems like OW AirPass is better than *A one since OW pass only requires 2 segments.
But there is something that I am a little bit unclear about. Website says that OW AirPass can only be purchased on return fares. What if my flights are FRA-SYD-FRA and then another FRA-SYD-FRA? Does this qualify me for OW European AirPass? After all, my flights are return flights and I am travelling on a non-european passport.

I believe the rules state something to the effect of the airpass can only be purchased in conjunction with a return ticket on a Oneworld airline originating outside the area of the airpass validity and must be purchased in the continent of commencement of travel prior to the 1st intercontinental segment.
I don't think your plans would be eligible for the European airpass but if you went into a QANTAS office in Australia I wouldn't be surprised if......

I'm guessing that you are out of luck on this one. Usually, there is a condition that a European airpass can't be purchased in Europe. Often this is combined with a condition that the airpass must be purchased in the same country as the intercontinental ticket. In this case, your conditions would be mutually exclusive.
