VA arrives in TBIT (which is between T3 and T4). VX departs out of T3. 5 minute walk or less if reasonably fit once you're on the curb outside of TBIT.
Because TBIT-T3 is clockwise while the traffic goes counterclockwise, the bus would take considerably longer than 5 minutes once you're on the bus (ie neglecting the wait time), and getting to the bus stops may involve more walking than simply walking between terminals anyway.
Also slightly OT, but I cant seem to get the points calculator to work out the SCs for that trip. It is 3 flights to the USA: SYD MEL, MEL LAX, LAX IAD and on return is only two flights IAD LAX, LAX SYD.
Can anyone help out a semi-newbie VA flyer with this please?
Most likely flying cheapest Y fare
See the
distances and use the VA
status credit table. Outbound should be 10+40+20 status credits; return 20+40. I'm curious what's confusing?
