So jeepzy, you can ignore section 107's comments as they are at least a decade out of date and are of little or no help to you.
oh darn - glad you and GU warned me as I was thinking I'd get the passport back in a day or two. I do not want to go thru the application process again that soon and unfortunately I would probably be there only 2 weeks tops.

You really going to connect through China (although you could), Myanmar an option you looking at?
Flying from the East Coast/NY area. Only checked United but so far saw only 2 stopovers LAX or SFO so I wouldn't have any trouble at all if I don't have any INTL stopovers. Was thinking I may not be able to go with the cheapest flight if there was a stopover/connecting flight at (Singapore, Malaysia, UAE or Turkey). So even a connecting flight in China/Myanmar wouldn't kill my trip? I'm not planning to leave the airport or anything to see the country for a few hours - i just want to be able to make my connecting flight and make my way to SYD.
