Not that crazy. I had to get the TLV once and did this routing.

ORD-HKG - CX F
HKG-SIN - SQ R
SIN-SYD - SQ R
SYD-AUH - EY F
AUH-AMM - EJ J
AMM-TLV - RJ J

Now that, WAS an epic fun trip. *Taken over the course of a week and a half.

Did you stop in SIN or HKG? I would only have 7 hours in HKG.

On hold:

MEL-SIN SQ F
SIN-HKG SQ J
HKG-JFK CX F

nothing direct to HKG. debating if I should take such a crazy route.

Maybe direct to HKG will open last minute.
Is SQ F 388 or 777?

388. If it wasn't I probably wouldn't take it ;)

Wow, that's a long trip. We'll be doing the reverse in the summer: LAX-TLV-DPS-HKG-LAX

3 weeks on the road, yea.

Nice. Was originally thinking of doing TLV first, but this way worked out better availability wise.

That's exactly why we're doing TLV first. All the LX availability was LAX-TLV with nothing in reverse.

Ridiculous deal.

It's too bad CX doesn't have First class cabin from MEL - HKG

FTFY  :P

I'm actually walking away from a pre-deval CX-F booking partially because of that.
