Route notes
Why this routing works
This itinerary builds a clean Pacific circuit from Seattle to Nadi, across eastern Australia, on to Auckland, and back to Seattle on one economy ticket. The stop order keeps the routing moving in a single direction without backtracking, which is useful on a five-week trip with four destination stops.
Timing is spread unevenly in a practical way: one week in Nadi, just over a week on the Gold Coast, more than two weeks in Sydney, and a shorter final stop in Auckland before the transpacific return. That puts the longest stay in the middle of the trip and avoids stacking the biggest city stop right before departure home.
Because the Australian segment is split between the Gold Coast and Sydney, the ticket covers separate arrivals within the same country rather than treating Australia as a single in-and-out stop. Auckland then works as the final break in the journey before the last long-haul leg back to Seattle.
