Flying into LA in October, 2016 on QF15 from Brisbane at 0600.
Australian passport, 4th trip to the USA in 6 years (2nd trip on my current passport).
Have used ESTA all 4 trips.
The Qantas website is giving the following options for connecting flights to Seattle (on the one ticket)
0800 - VX781 (Virgin America T3)
0840 - AS455 (Alaska Airlines T6)
0950 - UA5608 (United Airlines T8)
1040 - AS449 (Alaska Airlines T6)
Will have checked bags and would like to have enough time to quickly grab some food in between flights.
What would be the most appropriate connecting flight?
you will not have any problem making it to AS455, IMO. VX781 might be a little bit close for comfort, however T3 is closer than T6 so a shorter walk, thus saving some time (5-10 mins).
UA5608 is an express flight on a CR700. probably to be avoided for that reason alone given that VX and AS fly the big planes.
