A few bit of publicity in NZ papers over the past few days that a code share arrangement is close to being finalised. The NZ papers had the deal as QF retaining flights into/out of AKL and perhaps code-sharing with NZ aircraft in and out of CHC & WLG routes. JQ would then fly WLG & CHC routes for lesiure.

Interestingly, on my most recent red-edeal e tkt on the validity line it read "VALID QF/AO/NZ ONLY" - I don't believe this came up previously. I am sure that if I tried to endorse to NZ it would not be accepted, but perhaps they are preparing the software for the code-sharing...
