Hi,
No, I haven't looked into the availability yet--I only just started thinking about it. Thanks for the tip re the availability of seats on the OZ run.

As for not having first class, yeah, I know some shorter flights won't have first class, but they do have business class, which I'd be downgraded to if I was on F award--not a problem for those shorter flights. And I plan to route through SYD when traveling to SIN.

Hmm--looks like you're having an Oz Fest in May 2007--I'll have to try to work that into my trip.

Thanks for the help!

SYD-AKL, CHC-BNE & BNE-SIN will not have first class.
