Looking to book AUS-USA (ADL or BNE to ORD) in early Sep 2020 to return from my honeymoon. In early Aug, I was seeing a lot of BNE-LAX J. The release of that J space at 275d has since dried up, and I'm only seeing PE to the USA. Assuming that BNE-LAX J comes back, would you guys recommend BNE-LAX in J and then AS LAX-ORD in Y (because there's rarely saver F on AS), or should I just get it all done BNE-ORD in PE? I've flown a few J legs, but they've capped at 9h and not 12-16h, so I'm unsure how absolutely soul-crushing it will be in PE vs J.

#1 : BNE-ORD in J (I have yet to see any available J on this route, so probably not gonna happen)
#2 : BNE-LAX in J + LAX-ORD in Y/F on AS (not seeing this when the calendar opens, but maybe it'll come back)
#3 : BNE-ORD in PE
#4 : BNE-LAX in PE + LAX-ORD in Y/F on AS

So basically, is this ranked correctly, or should I swap #2 and #3 ?

I currently have HKG-ORD in CX J saved, but that's dependent on the married-segment logic stopping so that I can add on the ADL/BNE-HKG segment.
But basically, given Better or Woof, which should I opt for?
