United Matching (LAX-SFO-SYD outbound, nonstop return) ~$2700
https://goo.gl/flights/UXoi
Also seeing UA @ $3500-4200 on earlier departures. It seems like you want to keep the return Dec 30th+.
Also see NZ at $4400 for Dec 11th-19th, presumably other dates (https://goo.gl/flights/KGD6)
Also seeing QF SFO-SYD @ $4500 for related dates
(https://goo.gl/flights/UKgk)
The $2700 rates are exceptionally good, never seen it that low. Even the other rates in the $3k-4k range are fantastic for this route where the cheapest I see is ~$5k. Are these normal rates for travel in their summer? I remember flying this for work two years ago and my fare was like $6k and the return was in economy =\

Only 220k AMEX MR points if you have them. Some will still have 50% bonus on their cards, even at only 35% back its 143k after rebate.
Great deal. Hopefully someone can use.

For those in the Bay area, United good from SMF and MRY as well. Drive to SMF/MRY to save and drop the SMF/MRY on the return.

UA
united dot com fare is $748 for LAX->SFO->SYD on 12/23 but only if the return is in January when the inbound fare is $2995 and up on QF SYD-MEL and UA MEL-LAX.
But for 12/23 - 12/30 the fares are $1347 each way with the return on the UA nonstop.
Is there a way I can get the $748 + $1347 trip on UA?
