I'm sure you know all this but:-
AKL-RAR is QF3801 and my random date for the template was Thursday 2nd March.
I didn't know JQ flies to RAR, so thank you! (I've been to RAR twice and enjoyed the place)

This prices up as a OneExplorer ticket. If I change to the other flight option (Jetstar JQ129) the price of the total trip increases by 50% and is priced as a GlobalExplorer. Still a valid fare though.
I'm intrigued by the price increase.
Are you prepared to share some basic details of your itinerary?
- Starting point
- Class of travel
- For the Oneworld Explorer - how many continents
- For the Global Explorer - the total mileage (you can use the Great Circle Mapper to get this number)


RAR-SYD is QF3800/QF146 and involves a stop over in AKL.Saturday Random date was Saturday 29th April

Pre Covid there was a SYD-RAR direct flight on Fridays IIRC, but that was possibly Jetstar

Thanks for the replies I have a lot to learn!
