1. There is no "u" in QANTAS
2. Could you give a run down of the Fly America Act please.
3. A Business class Circle Pacific (DCIRCx) fare should be a lot less than $12 - $14k.
4. Check out the price of a DCIRCx fare ex BKK (its about half the above price).
5. Even a First Class Circle Pacific fare might come in less than your price above (if you buy it in the right place).
6. I'm not aware of AA codeshares from Oz to SE Asia (unfortunately), but a check on "classavailability" might give a clue.
1. No worries!
2-5. I know it should be, basically the rate we have is a way to legally subsidize the airlines without going through the public eye.
6. That is what I really want to find, looks like UA out of SIN is closest i found.
#6 is the 12k question...
EDIT: Gardyloo, I like that you are thinking whole picture. Sadly only place is SYD :-(. I think the only American Code Share flights go back to LAX, SFO or HNL I'll have to play with the flights, and annoy some agents again and report my findings :-)
