One more thing, we will need to route through LAX on the way home (United 747-400) and we need to choose some seats. I have no problem paying for the E+ seats if they are worth it (I am 6'5). Which seats would you choose and where? We are curently booked in 59HJ. These are just 2 seats in the back of the plane instead of the normal 3.

Thanks again!
OP - I can feel your pain. I'm 6'4". I can tolerate regular AC economy, but not UA's... AC has 32" of pitch whereas UA is 31", and it may not seem like much but let me assure you that inch makes a ton of difference.

Even if the difference between regular Y and Y+ is the difference between 31" and 34", personally, I'd pay it for a trip from Sydney (or even just LA). Unless you want to stand the whole time.
