We are booked on the Sydney to Bali Cruise in January. We live in Hawaii and do not want to fly to the Mainland and then to Sydney, so we've asked for deviations. We have sent our TA the routes we would like to get. To fly to Sydney, Quantas has a direct route from Honolulu to Sydney. The problem we are finding is getting back home from Bali. We've looked and looked at flights and a variety of air lines. So far it looks like Quantas from Bali to Sydney and then Sydney to Honolulu--BUT, there is a 15 hour layover in Sydney. Does anyone have a suggestion for a better routing?
