Sichuan Airlines is not part of any alliance and has an inferior Business Class product but at this price point from Los Angeles to Australia it might be of use to some...

With 2-3-2 business class seating on an A330, I would agree with the phrase "inferior Business Class product". Disclaimer: I have never flown on this airline.
But IMO, airfare ~$2500 from LAX to OZ is actually pretty good for PE.

i'm not criticizing, just pointing out that this itinerary INDEED requires a Chinese visa. No visa free transiting. That's a big showstopper for most.

I found that on one of the seat map sites. Looked strange to me. That's why I commented on it.

24-hour TWOV should cover this (multiple stops within China permitted provided shceduled time of arrival at first port of entry until scheduled time at last port of departure does not exceed 24 hours).
24 hour TWOV is not permitted at TXN airport. This itinerary is transit via TNA.

Why would this need a visa?
