My current itinerary on hold is OSL-xLHR-JFK-SEA-xLAX-SYD-HND-xDOH-OSL. This was meant as a placeholder to fulfill 4 continent requirements until I figure out the final routing. Would doing LAX-NRT-SYD-HND save me taxes/fees? Any other options I can try to minimize taxes until I'm ready to do the final routing?
Your taxes will reduce significantly if you can find availability on the LAX-SYD AA flight.
