California to Sydney
#4
Quickest would probably be Los Angeles to Sydney direct. It's about 14 hours. If you stop anywhere, like Honolulu, or Auckland (with Air New Zealand) that will add on time to the journey. You could check the websites for Qantas, Virgin Australia, Air NZ. If you book via some of the American airlines it may turn out to be a codeshare. You can usually tell by the flight number.
Summer in Australia is Dec-Feb so it will likely be warm to hot. You can check historical weather on www.wunderground.com - under the More tab at the top.

I've done that leg (SYD -LAX) on United. They are OK, not as great as the Asian airlines, but OK.
February is pretty roasty - pack loose clothing, but maybe bring a light cardigan or similar for the air conditioning.

Daughter works in Antarctica and says that folks who flew United had an old plane with movies in the ceiling and no free drinks on their flights. Delta and Qantas have free drinks,new airplanes and individual screens at each seat which made a big difference!
