It looks like flight QF25 if flying from MEL-AKL on both Dec 10th and Dec 19th. Just that it is not flying from AKL-LAX on those dates, plus many other dates. I find it hard to believe that QF25 from AKL-LAX is sold out on many mid-week dates Tues/Wed when just a few days ago the seat maps were wide open.

What QF is telling me now is that the flights are sold out in all classes of service on the AKL-LAX leg - but still flying. You can buy a seat from MEL-AKL.
