Yea,
Asia would be out of the way and I will be as you said on eastern time zone so I will be really tired anyways. I just think it would be nice to have PTV but I will survive. I more then likely will fly United anyways. Just wanted to see what you guys thought. Air New Zealand could be a possibility also.
Blort you last part your message is good. I will remember Australia most importantly and not the seat back TV. LOL I am probably going to fly United. Thanks for all the replies

It will also be nice earning plenty of miles!
