No problem :-), I am looking for alternatives....
But after playing with the Oneworld booking tool, I can't really make it work.
My schedule really needs a flight from HNL-SYD/AKL around Oct 15th, Oct 20th is rather late. I figured I could get around this by flying to NRT first, and then to AU/NZ. But this makes it impossible to get home again (twice to the continent).
Also flying via AU to NZ (in and out) is not really what I would prefer.
And to make matters worse, the pricing is also higher (EUR 7400 vc EUR 6700) than *A. On top of that I would get a lot more connections instead of direct flights.
It might be me, but it just doesn't seems as good for US (including Hawaii) / NZ / JP from europe as *A. If I would have planned more cities in AU it would probably change.
