NRT - LAS Choices Endless....

for once i'm spoilt for choice. I'm due to fly from NRT to LAS on 8-Apr as part of a *Alliance RTW in C. For once, the time doesn't matter and i'm spoilt for choice. what would you choose?

UA/UA via SFO
UA/US via SFO
NH/UA via SFO
UA/NZ via SFO
NH/OZ via LAX
UA/NZ via LAX
NH/NH via LAX
OZ/UA via LAX
SQ/NH via LAZ
AC/AC via YVR.

I'm tempted to go SQ/NH via LAX or AC/AC via YVR. i've never flown NH or OZC class. any insight?

A number of those look like codeshares to me. AFAIK only UA (Ted actually) for SFO-LAS and LAX-LAS.

so the long haul part... SQ vs. NH vs. AC vs. OZ. SQ wins? got it.

can someone educate me on how to find out which flights are codeshared and by whom (besides knowing everyone's schedules' inside and out).

Personally, I would do anything I could to avoid United's Ted service to Las Vegas. You will be paying a C fare and getting a Y experience. For that reason, I would do any pair via YVR (you could do NH/AC) via YVR, that would keep you off evil Ted. :-)

Always SQ long-haul, even if you have to go on TED later.
But let's face it: The LAX - LAS flight is about 45 mins, so it should be still bearable.

Honestly, LAX-LAS is so short you won't even notice. I wouldn't pick based on that leg -- pick based on the significant leg.
