Flight confirmed!

We booked our flights!  The route is more than a little circuitous, going through Australia to get to New Zealand, but we booked using my mom's AA Advantage Miles, so you won't hear me complaining!

If you can't quite make out the image, here's our route from Tulsa, OK to Auckland, NZ:

Tulsa to St Louis (1h10m flight, 2h layover)

St Louis to Los Angeles (4h5m flight, 2h35m layover)

Los Angeles to Brisbane (13h55m flight, 7h30m layover)

Brisbane to Sydney (1h30m flight, 1h5m layover)

Sydney to Auckland (3h flight)

Only 23 hours and 40 minutse of flight time! Oh yeah!
