I'm saving another adjective for that.
Oh, well in that case, yup, it's great! It's just weird that seats 3/4 either A/K are the best for travelling together, yet seats 5A/K are the bassinet seats. I wonder if they'll let you bring the car seat on the plane and put it on the bench?

Pretty good.

Adding the JFK-LAX for fun, or hoping to move it to a later date?

So like 11.5 months from now? I didn't realize you had such a good time in MEL that you wanted to go back so soon.

Not 12 hours after confirming the above ticket, with the reservation not even ticketed yet, I've changed it to:

CPT-DOH QR J (B787)
DOH-AUH QR F (A320)
AUH-JFK EY F (A380)
LGA-CLT AA F (A321)
CLT-LAX AA F (A321)

It may be more stops, but for I don't think anyone would say it's not worth flying the EY Apt!

That's crazy with an infant

Maybe, but would you still think so if it were JFK-LAX on A321 F?

Yup.
You really don't understand what it means to have a four month old. The kid can decide just to cry for no reason. Now add to that being uncomfortable on a plane for 2 days straight.

Between Tasmania, Sydney, Gold Coast, West coast, and north island of AKL, there's PLENTY to do.

It's late Spring. Perfect weather.
