What would have been your choice? Eastbound via Dubai, Brisbane and Sydney like the 1st one. Westbound via LA is much shorter but against winds. Shortest flight would directly via Northern Pole, but this very likely restricted at the moment as the Christmas Elfs are very busy at the moment. So I assume they checked the winds and decided the shorter trip time was westbound.

Why does the delivery flight go via LAX? Maybe to start its commercial flight right away? Just a guess
