Help with Flights Bris -> Atlanta -> Amsterdam -> Brisbane

[aussiecruisers]

Hi, Looking at booking flights for my parents. Started researching last night and found it to be a bit of a nightmare with multi options. I am leaning towards booking individual legs of the trip unless someone has a better idea? Also I am not sure if I should go through a travel agent or do the booking myself online.
My parents are embarking on a cruise in Rotterdam but first visiting friends in Atlanta prior.
Date and trip details are
22 April Brisbane -> Atlanta (flexible date)
13 May Atlanta -> Amsterdam
24 June Amsterdam -> Brisbane

While it looks easy .......it is turning out to be a nightmare and costly too!

Can someone help!

thanks in advance, vicki

Essentially a RTW routing, they may want to consider an asian stop over on the way back. Looks to be approx 3.5k in economy if you leave via Sydmey for those dates, bit id recommend going to a good travel agent to look at it for you...

Cost is not all:- comfort and ease of the trip is important. A trip like this is a balance of cost and connections and of how tolerant the oldies are of airport transits. Is having a minimum number of flights a consideration? And as this is AFF, what about miles collection?

ATL is the home of Delta. Delta DL50 fly’s ATL-AMS. So look at a VA/DL BNE-LAX-ATL-AMS return. Can the Delta web site offer a multi city trip?

BNE-LAX-ATL-AMS-ATL-LAX-BNE a return trip
A possible RTW without thinking too much about which airlines could do.
