One-way Partner Redemption to Nth America

[openseat]

I hope this is not too dull a question.

I was looking to redeem a flight to the US (hopefully in F) and notice on the AAdvantage All-Partner Airline Award Chart that redemptions between the South Pacific and North America must be transpacific.
Am I correct to assume this means that CX and JL can be included in consideration of availability, as well as QF?

I just don't want to waste time reviewing redemption possibilities.

You cannot connect in Asia on an All Partners' award, as travel via a third region isn't allowed between South Pacific and North America. Your only options here are QF, HA, FJ and TN.

To include JL or CX, you need a oneworld award. The cost of this award will be based on the combined distances of all segments travelled.

My understanding is as follows:

Partner awards are valid for travel between the two regions identified in the table. Travel can only be via another region if there are no flight options directly between the two regions. Since Qantas flies directly between the two regions, to use CX via HKG or JL via NRT would require two awards in each direction.

Not always the case.
For example, there are direct flights between Australia and Japan (Asia1), but you are allowed to travel via Asia2.

Unfortunately openseat, this doesn't help you in your scenario. You cannot travel from North America to SWP via Asia1/Asia2.

Of course it can be done using OneWorld award(s) which are mileage based and not zone/region based.
