Andre,
Thanks so much for your list of flights, it was a great starting point in what is a bit of a mind bending challenge. I have managed to change about five items to create my own list.
Thanks again.
Simon.

Yes! Qantas usually throws a wrench into it, but always nice to visit the land down under!
