Australia 2006 - LAX to Melbourne


LAX to Melbourne 2006-06-14
 
LAX to Auckland took almost 12 hours.  AUK to Melbourne took almost 4 more hours. Including transit time at airports, I estimate that it took us about 24 hours to get from our house in Phoenix to Melbourne, Australia.  Fortunately, the flights were smooth with very little turbulence.  Service on Qantas was very good.  We received little pouches with sock covers, eye covers and toothbrushes (which United also gave us the last time we crossed the Pacific in coach).  And after dinner they actually handed out bags of snacks in case we woke up or planned to stay awake after the lights were dimmed.
