Stupid Intertubes

I'm trying to use the Star Alliance RTW airfare calculator (it's never too early to get depressed about missing WC 2010) and it's giving me all kinds of grief trying to fly from Perth (because there are a couple of dorks there, and their limpet cat, who I might want to visit) to either Sydney or Melbourne. Like, what, you people take fucking camel trains between your major metropolitan areas?!

Maybe I'll try again tomorrow. Better computer juju.

Used another site (oneworld.com), and I've got it down to between 4,500 and 4,200.
Holy shit - round trip NYC to Perth = $2400
Round trip to Sydney = $2100
