Actually, I think I'm going to switch my routing so I don't have to do CHC-MEL on the narrowbody -- the only reason I did that was to do SYD-AKL on the Lan Chile flight in F, but AA won't seem to let me book that flight at all. So now I think I'll do SYD-CHC (3 flights daily in January, all 763s), CHC-ZQN (drive), ZQN-AKL (purchase) and AKL-MEL (2 flights daily on 763s). Now all my trans-tasman flights are on Qantas proper, and widebodies (presumably internationally-configured with 20 seats in J it looks like).
