Thanks Mwenzi

Buying thru AA will be cheaper (less surcharges) as is buying in AKL, instead of Aust. Have a look a AFF and oneworld.com

If you are going to SCL a flight out Easter Island (IPC) is worth it. Interesting place to vist for 2 or 3 days

Many people avoid LHR. Take the chunnel train BRU-LON-Paris
Great to hear that it is okay to stopover at point of origin, which will make things much easier ~ thanks for that.

Most of the LH flights are already booked through QF, but I will see what AA can do ~ key issue at this stage may be seat availability as I depart early OCT. (Would you have any idea what magnitude of savings booking via AA may yield?)

BTW, I am one who avoids LHR if at all possible (even before more recent problems). In fact I may not even need to go to LHR, in which case I will take the Thalys as I usually do between BRU and PAR.

Thanks again for your assistance.
