It's good to know that Jetconnect is considered Qantas for purposes of the RTW.
Kind of a bummer - now I have to go to CHC to fly back to Oz
Just in case you're interested, what I'm doing in January is: SYD-AKL-ZQN-CHC-MEL-CNS-SYD, but I'm going to have to purchase AKL-ZQN and I'm going to drive ZQN-CHC. But I get to hit the major cities (ex-Wellington).
Oh, and CHC-MEL is on JetConnect (as is AKL-ZQN, if I choose that over Air New Zealand based on price). I hope Jetconnect has a decent business class trans-Tasman...
