I'd consider going over to Asia somewhere to do the same thing too I'd guess if somebody was interested in that instead.
Any takers? |
That's insane.
I'd wanna be down there for at least four to six days to make the long flight worth it. I went in October and it was a good time. Sydney then Melbourne.
If you have an international jumpseat agreement on UAL which I assume you do, try that. If you can't get on United then there is Qantas as you mentioned. I ended up going down there on them and back on United (business class!).
The real guaranteed way to get from the west coast to SYD is Atlas Air with a 30 minute fuel stop in HNL.
UAL did not charge me the $85 departure tax in MEL. That's twice this year they forgot.
