About to book a DONE4 for travel in the first 3 weeks of april. Seems to me that given the cost of the positioning flight, AKL might be the best starting point. Ticketed on the oneworld planner through AA it comes to approx AUD$10400 including taxes.

Is there anywhere else I should be starting from - given that I live in Sydney and need to consider a positioning flight.

Itinerary AKL-LAX-CHI-DFW-LAS-LHR-TLV-BUD-LHR-SIN-BKK-SYD-CNS-MEL- AKL.

many thanks
