From SEA, for $1300, I would jump (but airfares go up & down).

You won't beat this price. AA is charging $1,800 on some of the same travel dates I looked at. Qantas had an Australia sale a few weeks ago from the west coast and those fares were down to $1,299, so it's $300 less than that recent sale.
