This certainly makes Down Under travel a heck of a lot easier. But what we're a little confused about is why this partnership is necessary, considering that Delta begins its own Oz service in July. We did see that Delta's new route is still subject to Australian government approval, so we're wondering if this is not going to happen as planned? Of course, that's just us thinking aloud here. No need to ring the alarm.

Although, if you work at Qantas, which once faced little to no competition on the Oz to US route, you will want to sound that alarm and loudly, too. After announcing, $299 one-way flights from LA to New Zealand and Sydney, we can't wait to see what Qantas comes back with this time.
