About AU$2600 is the best I can find (Malaysian), $2900 on Qantas.

Or you can buy a 26,000 mile RTW ticket from Qantas and go Perth - Sydney - Los Angeles - San Francisco - Vancouver (aren't you coming to Seattle?) - London - Singaport - Perth for around AU$2550 plus tax (say $3000) and book a lot of frequent flyer points in the process.

What, no life? Me?

See - I knew someone would respond - thanks
gardyloo - yep am headed to Seattle but cheapest option seems to be a return LA flight with Alaskan air to Seattle tacked on.
Hubby has pulled out of the trip now so I'm going solo...
I've located a Malaysia air return to LA flight for AUS$2037 inc taxes however only on sale for the next week and of course I need to pay upfront. My problem is that I don't have access to my travel funds until I'm confirmed at the conference - and I don't have that yet *sigh*.
So I know it's an awesome price but I don't want to get stuck with the ticket if something goes awry - I'll have around $3500 travel funds to play with but probably only $1500 of my own cash to contribute....

Advice please!!!

Chelsea, I did a simple search on Orbitz (using the flexible dates tool) and came up with: $1,698 + $292 taxes & fees = $1,990 per person.

Thanks Maggi - I did just had a look at Orbitz (Air NZ) - the price in AUD is $2527.
Still not bad! I think that's probably a similar option to what J62 found. Air NZ has horrendous (14h and 8h) stopovers - but I guess that's what you get for a cheaper price. And it makes the Malaysian airways flight look even more tempting...

I just don't think I can commit to the Malaysian airways flight (and pay) right now.. so I guess I'll have to take the risk that I won't be able to get a flight that cheap later on...

I'm not bored, just curious.

Why not check into "round the Pacific" flights which go for as little as $1,500 US and allows you to circle the Pacific?

Good luck!

Easytraveller - can you please point me in the right direction for the "Round the pacific" airfares? I've not heard of the before...

One well known Aussie travel agent that focuses on round the world and circle fares is Best Flights - see for example http://www.bestflights.com.au/cgi-bi...indetails=2103.

If memory serves they're actually located in Perth.
