Basically i'll have 3 weeks to spend. Since i probably wont be going that way often, i figured i should visit both in one trip. It feels very daunting to try to get there comfortably. If qantas does not release seats last minute then my only option would be united from LAX. I didnt see any dirc flights from sfo. I guess my msin focus will be redeeming on united. Does united allow multiple stops for the trip thst i'm considerng! Ex.. Sfo-lax-sidney to new zealand? I want to try to get the free stops whenever possibly then look into paid tix.
