Ok so I did the smart thing and rang qantas,

Because of the different airlines, as far as qantas is concerned I have a domestic flight to SYD, wat happens after they don’t care, BUT thanks to FMG I am a silver Frequant Flyer, so I get the extra bag at 32kg for a mere $20 just gotta sus it with air Canada and wesjet

Ended up getting flights with Delta for around $1400 with short stopovers in LA. Pretty stoked, save over $500 by not going with Air Canada (when you inc. fees for extra baggage). I can only take one checked bag (my snowboard bag) but two carry on items, so should hopefully be enough. Let’s hope Delta aren’t too dodgy…

Whoops wasn’t referring to your comment, Mizu. Was referring to my own.

depends on your comfort level i guess. i have mates who flew to Rio on some dodgy, cheap ass flights and they said it was good. and one mate on the same flight vowed he would rather take a dinghy then fly them again.

Well I can definitely say that Delta were absolutely fine. I would rate them no less than Air Canada in any way. Both flights were good. Had emergency exit seating which always helps of course too.
