My wife suggested MEL-SYD on QF domestic, and then UA 100 SYD IAH, which is nice,.....
I happily pay good money to avoid D-->I and I-->D transfers at SYD
Air NZ flys to IAH. So MEL-AKL-IAH all on Air NZ is another option. Easy airside transfer at AKL. But no idea if schedule works for that.
Any flight that avoids SYD & LAX is better.
