Hope to minimise going through Lax, terrible airport.

thinking now:

BRIS - DFW (in J)
internal USA flights economy.
DFW - MIA
MIA-LAX-X
LAS-X - YYC
YYC - SFO
SFO - LAX
LAX - SYD (in J on QF380)

I'll get domestic flights in Oz separately from CNS - BRIS and SYD-CNS

I'll use points for one Q return in J and buy the other (about $9K, but looking at Air NZ in J around $6200 CNS - AKL - SFO return about 3 grand cheaper than Q., so two would be $12.4K and I use my Amex get 1.5 points per $ but no FF points using Air NZ, ah decisions.
