Also how much are you paying for just the SYD-HKG return on QF J?
A bit of a long story - work is paying $$$$. Trip originates in AKL.
1. CX AKL-HKG-AMS and return NZD7600
2. QF/LX AKL-SYD-HKG
on QF HKG-ZRH-AMS
on LX and return NZD 7600
Not much difference in the travel time as with CX there is a longer stay in HKG. But, I get to stopover in OZ with QF/LX, which would have cost another NZD400 if on CX. The "old seats" misled me. Thanks for your help! ^
BTW, QF all the way on J is over NZD 12,000!!! The QF/LX choice is a QF ticket and I could upgrade to F with 25,000 points SYD-HKG. Might be nice!!
