And you can actually swing two US transcons into the itinerary if you are careful. Normally the rules only permit one. but if you enter the USA from SWP using QF107 SYD-JFK (booked as a single flight coupon), you fly SYD-LAX and LAX-JFK, and can then still do JFK-LAX/SFO for your US transcon sector. Of course this is good for miles/points earning as well since SYD-JFK is 9950 miles!
