What is a OWE flight from zone to zone
When flying between Continents or Zones how does it work - I can't find the answer in the rules
Is it simply from an international gateway to another gateway eg LAX to SYD
or would LAX to NTL with an transfer in SYD be an OK routing without dipping into my 4 flight coupons in SWPacific on the SYD - NTL leg?
so then you could then use your allowance in this manner
Local to Int Gateway/Hub to Int Gateway to Local e.g. BOS-LAX-SYD-NTL?
Thanks for any help.

If LAX-NTL is offered as a single flight number, it would indeed count as the international segment. QF is very unlikely to ever offer such a flight! There are maybe 5 such flights among all of the OW airline schedules (for QF SYD-LAX-JFK now and MEL-LAX-ORD in a few months, for example). There are lots of domestic flights on AA which do have a single flight number despite making a stop (some even have an equipment change!), and those do count as one segment. AA even has some 2-stop single segment flights.

I didn't think it was remarkable, but QF has a CNS-BNE service that makes four or five stops. Perhaps more, depending on someone on the ground waving a flag as the flight passes over.
One of the things that suggested to me that Qantas might not be the best resource for ticketing an OWE was that their rate desk initially insisted that each leg was an OWE 'segment'.

Thanks for the answers.
To get this straight, you can only fly between Zones on a single flight (except SW Pacific to Europe - if you have already purchased Asia you can transit in Asia).
In the Zones you have 4 single flights (6 in NA) to use.

If you can do it on a fine day - do the early AM departur from Brisbane - from Mackay north you will have great arial - brochure - shots of the Great Barrier Reef - sit on right hnd side of aircraft.
Left side will be inland - but almost as good for photos of river systmes, etc.
