The China stop is there, but instead of 14 hours, the trip turns into 24 hours. We are looking for Business, in case I did not mention that.
N/S LAX-SYD for our dates is still at the crazy 700,000 level, but dates between now and then go as low as 350,00 for the same flights. That is why I am wondering if it is just a bit early for the award seats, especially since the business section is totally empty.
