I often find that certain fares are quoted to Australia from the USA using Asian carriers but I have never been able to book them on the main travel sites. FC does list the fares but same deal. These fares are available if I call a person live (sometimes). Often the reason is simply a dateline thing with forced overnights due to bad connections. Computers tend to hiccup on these things.
eg: Asiana fares to Sydney from SEA
eg: SQ fares to Adelaide from USA
anyway - love FC.
Thanks
