Is the trip from the USA to Australia painful?
It’s really not too bad; we fly QANTAS and they are very good! On the USA to Australia direct flight every seat has its own TV personally controlled by you. One of the best ways to pass time is to watch some current movies, documentaries (normally about Australia) or play video games. The food is surprisingly good on these long flights and alcohol is complimentary. Before even arriving in Australia you can sample some great Australian wines and taste several good Aussie beers like Tooheys, Victoria Bitter, XXXX (pronounced 4X), Carlton and others.
