Thanks for the input! This was my thoughts too and my passport does have a chip so I should be able to do an ETA, but so many friends are warning me they wouldn't travel and they travel a lot more than I do so didn't know if I was missing anything.
Would I have to make sure I have a stopover at a country that doesn't have the 6-month validity rule like Seoul and avoid Singapore? Not sure what countries are the normal stopovers but a friend had a stopover at Seoul on way to the Philippines.
