AirNewZealand: QF is more like AirSydney

[coyote25]

Definitely can feel like it at times when you get routed via Sydney for lots of international flights:

And Air NZ acts like Air Auckland ....

I would much prefer to transit through AKL then SYD.

 

[burmans]

I wouldn't read much into the comments of any CEO on the services of their competitors, these will always be somewhat biassed.

But the point that Auckland is just as viable as a transit point as Sydney for MEL/BNE flyers is a perfectly valid one.

 

[Nouflyer]

No, Auckland is a MORE viable transit point than Sydney for Brisbane and Melbourne (and Cairns and Adelaide) passengers.

No baggage reclaim.

No customs.

No terminal change.

 

[opusman]

No QF F lounge...

 

[TomVexille]

No QF F lounge...

Which most of the traveling public don't have access to... although it is a consideration around here

 

[Nouflyer]

You're probably right, but the terminal change at Sydney is just too painful. And the Brisbane International Qantas Club is worse than the terminal!
