I don't see an AA flight code for HNL-SYD... they do codeshare the QF LAX-SYD and SFO-SYD but I need to be in HNL for at least long enough to get a driver's license (needed for tax purposes).
Might be a good time to ask--I'm booking DFW-HNL on QF/AA codeshare instead of directly on AA to avoid the $100 fuel surcharge. Shouldn't be any problems with that, right?
