Who to do business with? Emirates or Air New Zealand???????

Just want to Know your opinions on who does the best j class from MEL to AKL???? I cant decide between the EK A380 or the NZ 777-300. Who has the better seat and dinning options???

Well I assume you need to come home at some stage ?

EK on the way over
NZ on the way back

EK - Starts their A380 in about October, BUT I believe some A380's may be delayed this year. Airbus is slowing production down to fix the wing cracks, BUT claims deliveries will not be affected
NZ - Be prepared for the 777-300 to not operate your flight, I have booked it on 3 occasions only to have it change twice to the 777-200 and once to the 767-300....

EK - $1700 return
NZ - $2200 return

I'd go with EK over, NZ back

for the same amount of money you would be paying for NZ J, you can fly EK F!

Iv never flown F just J on QF and SQ. Is F on EK really that amazing?

Yes it is.
In contrast, J on EK A380 is far from amazing.

What about the quality of Qantas j to AKL??? Is it good??? I ask because it's jet connect and not real Qantas

J on QF is no different to domestic J on QF.

I'd still rate it higher than EK J service wise, to be honest.

I would suggest the EK380 any day over the Qantas 737 operated by Jet connect for J Flights and I would look at F too as would love to use that shower for First passengers

J on QF is no different to domestic J on QF.

I would say either "little different" or "slightly better".

Minor details are things like Pre-Flight champers, better menue options etc. Other than that the seat and IFE are basically the same.
