How to Read a Route Map
Important!
Route maps should always be read in conjunction with the flight application paragraph of the fare and apply in either direction.
A choice of airlines may be shown between cities but at times these may not operate to some of the destinations. The route map isn't a guarantee that all airlines operate that sector - it only gives permitted options.

Routings
- Any one or more transfer/stopover points may be omitted and non-stop services of the airline shown in the route map substituted across the points in between.
- Surface travel is permitted between any two points, excluding origin and destination points, that are separated by a ' - '. If there is no valid airline between two cities, the route map will state 'surface required'. Your customer will need to surface if these cities are part of their itinerary.
Eligible Airlines
Travel is limited to the airlines indicated. If the route map does not indicate an airline, the default airline is Qantas (QF) when displaying a QF fare.
