Default Combination of travelcards and pay-as-you-go Oyster?

In October I will need to go to Heathrow (zone 6) from Stratford
(zone 3). I have Oyster with:
1. monthly travel card for zones 1-3
2. 10£ for pay-as-you-go needs

How will I be charged? For zones 4-6, or 3-6, or 1-6? (I will also
cross zones 1 and 2).
And on return journey, when I will enter in zone 6, and exit in
zone 3 (Heathrow - Stratford) - will it be the same?


Assuming those are the only "out of zone" journeys you make on those
days, you should just be charged £1.00 (before 0700 and after 1900
Monday to Friday, all day at weekends) or £1.80 (between 0700 and
1900 Monday to Friday) for a Single for Zones 4-6.


Actually the PAYG fare would be for Zones 3-6, otherwise he would not
have a valid ticket between Northfields and Boston Manor (across the
zone 3/4 boundary). The costs are the same, though.
