Firstly, a few mistakes on my part. Yes, I meant HKG, not HKK. Also, the option Qantas gave us was instead of LAX, HNL, SYD, that the other option was LAX, HKG, SYD. But alas, no seats, and as per usual, no seats LAX - SYD.

As for the domestic business class, the Qantas agent told me that only 3 of the flights had a Int business class, and they were on the 747, which had no avail. So, she said we would have to go on the 767 which was a domestic style service.

There is every chance I messed this up when talking with her, but after my Tokyo experience business class, my mind was scared *g*

Thanks for all the help. Really, really appreciated!
