Consolidator needed to SYD in J
Looking for some help on finding a reputable consolidator for J travel to SYD from the USA. Prefer someone who can get me on a carrier that gets AA miles.
Also if you know how I would use on line booking where I could find the discounted J seats too. Thanks

Circle Pacific
Another option would be a 22,000 mile or 26,000 mile Circle Pacific ticket from QF (or AA or CX ??). Must travel north pacific one way and south pacific the other. eg LAX-HKG-SYD-LAX, JFK-HKG-MEL-SYD-JFK, LAX-SJC-NRT-SYD-LAX
In Australia Circle Pacific fares are about 75% the price of basic retum (SYD-LAX)

SEA-DFW-HNL-SYD-HKG-SEA = 21,591 miles
SEA-DFW-HNL-SYD-BNE-HKG-SEA = 21,783 miles
Ring AA, ask for a "DCIR22".
SEA-DFW-HNL books into "A" class - which gets you first class miles. The rest is booked into "D" class, which gets you business class miles.
If SYD-HKG direct, choose either QF or CX.
If SYD-BNE-HKG, use QF for BNE-HKG, due to the better (Skybed) seat/bed. CX BNE-HKG is Regional Business Class, nothing to write home about.

So you can't do HNL one way and HKG the other.
You would need to do LAX-SYD-HKG-SEA
or SEA-LAX/DFW-HNL-SYD-LAX-SEA
or SEA-LAX-SYD-HNL-LAX/DFW-SEA
for example.
Or have I got it wrong about HNL?
