We are booked on an Australia-New Zealand Cruise tour departing Sydney on January 22. As of now the air is booked through Princess, and the air allowance is approximately the same as booking with American Airlines and Qantas. We are considering changing from the the airline booking to doing it ourselves, which leaves us with the following choices.
1. Book it ourselves to leave on the 20th, which ensures the routing and airlines we prefer. This avoids both United Airlines and the possibility of being routed through San Francisco-Oakland on UA/Air New Zealand by the cruise line.
2. Same as 1, but leave on the 19th, layover in LA staying with friends and continue the next day. Check the bags through on the 19th.
3. Do nothing, stay with the original booking.
Our frequent flyer miles are on airlines which don't go non-stop Dulles-LAX, and we live 15 minutes from Dulles, which rules out National or BWI.
