Just starting to plan this for next summer and welcome opinions/suggestions mostly for the air travel part. We're at a conference in Kuala Lampur for about 6 days and are figuring sice we're already going that far and have always wanted to visit Australia/NZ we'd also stop at one (or possibly both) on the same trip.
We've never done a flight of more than 8-10 hours; spouse hates longer flights in general but no help for that, plus she's terrible with time changes. There seem to be two main choices, do a "3 leg", out to Kuala, then to Aus, then back to DC, or something like fly to Aus on a round trip ticket, and then from Aus go to Kuala on a round trip from there. The second one would allow a rest day or two in between. Spouse also brought up flying to the west coast and staying a night or two there to visit friends and then do the overseas bit.
Any thoughts on flight strategies, or what airlines to definitely avoid? Or anything else we need to consider. Up until now our overseas travel has been pretty much to England and a bit of the continent; also Morocco.
