Route notes
Why this routing works
This 9-week economy itinerary sequences South America before the Pacific crossing, moving from Orlando to Lima for a longer 19-night stop, then onward to Puerto Natales and Santiago before continuing to Sydney. That order keeps the long-haul structure linear through Peru and Chile and avoids backtracking before the transpacific sector.
In Australia, the ticket uses an open-jaw between Sydney and Melbourne, with Melbourne reached overland rather than by air. From there, the routing resumes with a flight to Cairns, then returns to Sydney for a longer final stay before the trip back to Orlando. That combination is useful when part of the Australia segment works better on the ground while still preserving the overall multi-stop ticket structure.
Timing-wise, a 9-week plan gives room for the uneven stop lengths in this route: 19 nights in Lima, 4 in Puerto Natales, 3 in Santiago, 9 in Sydney, and 16 more in Sydney after Cairns. With departure in May, the itinerary fits the stated April-June season window and spreads the longest stays across the beginning and end of the trip rather than clustering all time in one region.
