HKG-SYD 4 Inter-continent *
SYD-PER 5 SWP 1 *
PER-DRW 6 SWP 2 *
DRW-ADL 7 SWP 3 *

Looking forward to the comments, albeit nervously....

I don't suppose that I could change the continent order and go from the south west pacific to Europe first, and then back to Asia via the US? For some reason I thought that it might be backtracking. I would have to be careful to use a single segment to get to Europe.

Most of CX's offices will not accept a booking as such, and just to issue the ticket without you being there to sign your creditcard.
There is also some strange tax that is attached to tickets originating in Manila.
Better try calling them first in MNL. Look up cathaypacific.com

My suggestion - do your entire booking in your home country ie Australia? Then with the record locator, call CX MNL up and tell them you want to issue the ticket there.. they will then advise you accordingly.

Just a short word of warning, I visited CX office in MNL last year (I think just after they had been relocated) as I needed them to touch my DONE ticket a bit, it was a total madhouse without any priority etc. for OW elites, well over 100 people (waiting numbers) in the place, others screaming, others sleeping. Reserve some time should you need to visit that office. I really hope it's not such a circus always and I just hit them on a bad day...

In my experience, it's far easier to just call the CX office in Manila. The numbers are posted on their website.
