Enjoy your time in Queenstown (and elsewhere in Aust/NZ).

It's good to know that Jetconnect is considered Qantas for purposes of the RTW.
ZQN-SYD/BNE only operates during "ski season".
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...

When we flew CHC-SYD earlier this year in Business class, it was a 737-800, biz class was pretty decent (actually a separate cabin). It looks like they are only operating 763 and 747-300's on that route now; I'd try to get on the 747 service :)

Actually, I think I'm going to switch my routing so I don't have to do CHC-MEL on the narrowbody -- the only reason I did that was to do SYD-AKL on the Lan Chile flight in F, but AA won't seem to let me book that flight at all. So now I think I'll do SYD-CHC (3 flights daily in January, all 763s), CHC-ZQN (drive), ZQN-AKL (purchase) and AKL-MEL (2 flights daily on 763s). Now all my trans-tasman flights are on Qantas proper, and widebodies (presumably internationally-configured with 20 seats in J it looks like).
