I think it looks ok. Not sure if AA will sell to you as no Overwater segment. You need a very good TA for this

Nice. Thanks! We weren't 100% sure that we could fly back and forth between Sydney for the South West Pacific continent.
What do you mean by a very good travel agent? Wouldn't all/most travel agents be able to book this?
Can we call Qantas instead and get them to book it? Or is that a pipe dream?
