Obviously you don't know Boeing Travel. The way it works is:

8 hours flying time to Hawaii.
230 hours layover (with per diem).
12 hours flying time to Sydney.
And if you schedule your flight to Hawaii for wheels up before 6am, then you get a full per-diem for that day too.

Mogens is using a new type of aircraft from the other large Seattle company.... That's why it takes 10 times longer... ;-)
