AA: JFK-LAX-OGG
QF: HNL-SYD
LAN: SYD-AUK
AUK-SYD (LAN) - SYD-CNS (QF)
QF: CNS-BNE-SIN
CX: SIN-HKG
CX: HKG-DBX
BA: DBX-LHR
BA: LHR-JFK

Some questions:
- Would you suggest AA for the LHR-JFK leg over BA on AA's new 777s? I've never flown this route on either carrier, however from what I can tell on SeatGuru AA has the better seat.
- I decided on LAN for the SYD-AUK-SYD legs due to the plane (A340) vs. QF 737. Is LAN a decent choice? From what I can see in the LAN forum, there's many complaints. I've never flown them.

Any other general advice on the routing would also be appreciated. Thanks all!
You have chosen one of the most expensive start points for DONEx. if you can position yourself to AMM or JNB you will save a ton on the fare.
