OWE Routing?
I'm doing a OWE for business last stopover in AKL and wanted to catch QF107 to JFK rather than having to change terminals in LAX over to AA. Is the following routing legal? Is there a rule about trans-tasman crossings?
Sorry if this has been discussed, I searched and did not see and posts about trans-tasman crossings.

Below is from CX rules of about 6 months ago
<font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2">Only one intercontinental departure and one intercontinental arrival is permitted in each continent.
Exception 1 - Two permitted in North America when one is a transfer without stopover
Exception 2 - Two intercontinental departures and arrivals are permitted in Asia, when one is transfer without stopover or on direct single plane service, between the Southwest Pacific and Europe.
Exception 3 - For travel to/from or via Ghana/Nigeria two permitted in Europe when one is a transfer without stopover between Ghana/Nigeria and another continent.</font>

I'm not sure I understand what you are saying... I don't see how SIN-MEL-AKL-SYD-LAX-JFK breaks the rule you are quoting.
SIN is in Asia
MEL, AKL and SYD are in SWP
LAX & JFK are in NA
what's the problem?

MEL-AKL-SYD breaks the rule that says you can only cross the tasman once. You can only go one way between Australia and NZ, never both ways.
Flying from hong kong to AKL and then to australia is a good solution perhaps, I'm going to try it anyway.

I believe the problem is if you ORIGINATE in the SWP then you cannot return to the country of origin. In other words you cannot originate MEL and do MEL-AKL-SYD. If you don't originate in SWP I think you're fine with two Trans-Tasmans.
