I want to organise an Australia trip for Jan/feb 2012 from UK via a far east connection. I don't want to connect through Singapore or Bangkok so a connection via Seoul (with stopover) using OZ seems to be an alternative. However, could I get a connection via Vietnam (with stopover) would this be acceptable? I'd prefer a warm weather stopover if possible!

Not decided on return routing yet but if anyone has thoughts on a something different I'd welcome ideas (I can't find anything back via South America) there's a pity!

Thanks for any recommendations and assistance.
