2. My other question is, the rough times of those two flights are 7am - 8am, connecting to a midnight Qantas flight (i.e., 16 hour layover)...same basic story on return, arrive 7am, leave 6pm or so. I am told "those are the only flights Continental is allowed to use" - but Alaska has a ton of flights all day. Is the information I'm given true? If not, any advice on how to get a better connection?</font>
AS only
operates one flight per day in each direction. The other flights are operated by AA, as AS code-shares. AS operated flights have flight numbers 0 - 999, everything else is operated by a partner.
