I'm surprised ac.com would route you to QF? Did they put you on AA to DFW too!? (kidding)
somewhat OT . . .
Anyone heading to BNE in Y this winter should try to route via DFW on QF. (Assuming, of course, you're not hooked on AP).
Have to imagine there will be seats blocked westbouond when the winter winds kick up. That's a long stretch for 744ER. Blocked seats = more likely to get 2 Y seats for the price of one. And when you're on board for 17 hours, you'll appreciate that
