Thanks Pbl22.
Bit late, in the reply, but in the end, I used up some points, some $ to get a Virgin and Air NZ flight ADL to SYD to AKL, stay overnight, and then get the 13.10pm or 13.40pm QF AKL to MEL to ADL.
Some points from VGW and QCC came through, so enough points to get the cost of flight down, and have booked it, so will get to try the QP in AKL for an early lunch, or a lunch entry.
But will still do the LAN one next year, so thanks for the reply.
Will try the QP breakfast then, (next year that is).
