Ok, I've got my AKL-SYD now...getting there. As a side note, I can now see what many people on the AA board say about Qantas availability. For my flights home on the 25th of August there is nothing on Qantas directly over the pond. It looks like I'll have to do BNE-CNS-HKG-LAX-ORD-WAS (Departing on the 25th and arriving on the 26th), because to do it all the same day would require a 7:30am (or so) departure from SYD and there's no way to get there at that hour from BNE, and my trip is at like 24,960 miles so I can't go down the night before. (Either that or I have to suck it up and do coach either across the pond or BNE-HKG.

Can't book the final flight(s) until the 29th of this month...we'll see what I manage to come up with.

For my intra-Australia flights availability is pretty wide-open.
