A Complete, Updated List of Fifth-Freedom Routes

CI adding MEL-AKL from December 3rd.
5x weekly T,W,T,F,Su
CI57 MEL-AKL 1340-1905
CI58 AKL-MEL 2105-2255

Awesome way to cross the ditch in a very comfortable aircraft.

I wonder if there'll be any Classic rewards (not Plus) seats using QFF points and how much it would be - would be good if it is available with CR.

Just searched a random date in April 2025, nothing available as of yet.

It's technically possible and I have seen some seats in the past, but there isn't much availability on BNE-AKL. I expect MEL-AKL will be similar.

CI used to have CI57-CI58 as MEL-CHC/CHC-MEL for a few summers. Last 2017-18
The CI flight had a QF codeshare, but trans Tasman was not bookable. Tried by phone and on line.

I could never find any when MEL<-->CHC operated.
 
 

Would love to catch that!
 
GF discontinuing flights between BKK and SIN:
 
Don't forget to add Beond's fifth freedom flight between Dubai Al Maktoum / Dubai World Central (DWC) as the origin and Zurich (ZRH) as the destination. This route was officially launched on 3 May 2024. Furthermore, please add Ethiopian Airlines' fifth freedom flight between Bangkok Suvarnabhumi (BKK) as the origin and Jakarta Soekarno Hatta (CGK) as the destination. This route was officially resumed on 2 July 2022. Thank you
