Advice to those heading out there:
FLY QUANTAS!
I know they were all over the news about that hole in their plane or whatever. But REALLY, they are an awesome airline, that takes care of you, feeds you decent food, has tv’s at every seat and for the SAME PRICE as a US airline. My colleague and I both flew to Sydney in March, and he flew Quantas and I flew United—And I totally regret it. His experience compared to mine was amazingly different. And we flew in-country several times, on Quantas, and it was great! I will never fly any other airline to Aussie.
