There is actually in the form of QF via Australia or via HNL
That's not competitive in my book, why screw around going backwards to Aus. and/or mucking about with another airport. QF used to fly MEL/AKL/LAX that was competitive on the AKL/LAX route - the only one we are interested in because we need to go to Los Angeles - and we always used it, but not available now. Roll on AA.
Of course, we could also go via Singapore and London, too, but that is hardly competitive either, which is what the thread is all about.
Frankly, with all the useless knee jerk reactions that will be instituted as a result of Paris, I'd just as soon stay at home anyway, and all the airlines can go to Hell.
