Of course if you want to fly business class to Hamilton Island using your "D" RTW, you could try going through Brisbane. QF746 from BNE-HMI uses a 737. But will depend on the number of "segments". Does SYD-BNE-HMI count as one segment if no BNE stopover?</font>
We are already using two segments for SYD-PER-SYD (we originate in JNB, so two transcons permitted) so don't want to pay for more unnecessarily. The other problem with going via BNE is that on the return we cannot get a same day connection to LAX. The HTI-SYD flight connects nicely with the second SYD-LAX flight.
I'm all booked and ticketed now so thainks for the advice. Chartering a yachet from Hamilton Island to spend a week sailing around the Whitsunday's.
