Hi,

My name is Matt and I am 15. I have posted here a few times but want some advice. I am planning on doing a 1 month Summer program in Australia next summer. I live in Mississippi right now. I am skymilies member and United miles member. I preferably would like to fly a Star Alliance or Sky Team Member. My plan is to use a free delta ticket Mississippi-LAX. Then pay for a ticket LAX-SYD.
Now my question is will July be an exspensive time to buy tickets? I know its to early now but I like to plan stuff in advance so I got stuff to look forward to. I am really open to flying via Asia to get to Aussie or flying through new zealand or just direct to Aussie. My one problem I have with flying United is no PTV. For 14 hours I sorta need stuff to keep me somwhat occupied. So what do you think my options will be. Any chance Virgin could be flying USA-Australia by then?
I would love to fly Qantas but they seem like they are a lot more then everyone else. So whats going to be best. I think flying through asia would be cool just to expearience an Asian Airline and going through the airport there. I dont mind extra time since I love to fly and it will just be me.

Thanks
Matt
