It's LAX-SYD-MEL now, been that way for quite a while. We
took that a couple months ago, and I was surprised that they
filled every seat I could see on the aircraft ... and was not
surprised that we stopped at Brisbane for fuel.
By the way, back in the day when I could use buddy passes,
anything that smacked of bartering ("reward" for services)
was really, really frowned upon. Has that changed? I mean,
you're pretty open about that.
