Anything is possible I suppose and personally I would like to get a direct, non-stop flight DXB to AKL but from what I have observed the many times I have flown from DXB to AKL is that very large numbers of people get off in Aus and new people get on for the Trans Tasman hop and vice versa. I suppose that if you combined all those that are on the flights through SYD, Melbourne and Brisbane that go through toe AKL and vice versa you could fill a plane though ...
