Expect CHC-SYD will go the Jetstar sooner than later after this change. Air NZ is better product for business travel so down gauging the aircraft will not help QF on CHC sevices. As QF have been reducing services to CHC over the last few years, for the first time in 15 years my easter trip ip NZ will be on Air NZ both ways. Often did CHC-SYD (QF46) - MEL on the return but not this year (price)

I remember doing QF43/QF44 in 743 ... and QF25 in business from both BNE and MEL.

Having done about 12 TT on AirNZ with space+ seating in the last six months (no C as yet) - it really it cr@ps on Qantas' offering.

Note that on a QF 737, in WHY, row 4 or exits are as good as it gets; 18 seats - with Space+, AirNZ on their 320's have 48 such seats.
