'R' bucket and Qantas
Lately I have have been down-graded on several of my flights i.e. (CHC-MEL) and (PER-ASP-DRW).
The new flights show R inventory, but no D inventory.
Example for next year: QANTAS AIRWAYS OPERATED BY JETSTAR AIRWAYS 308 CHC Christchurch 03:25 PM MEL Melbourne 05:10 PM QANTAS AIRWAYS 1013 MEL Melbourne 07:40 PM HBA Hobart 08:50 PM
The other example is for this year: PER ASP DRW shows this aircraft:

However, Qantas is offering seats for sale in business.
Do the business class seats exist on these flights?
Should I complain to RTW?

And, Yes, you should complain, very firmly; Qantas LCC offshoot Jetstar are taking over Oz-CHC. They do NOT offer business class!
There is more on this thread: Jetstar - Trans Tasman - Commences 01 DEC 2005 .
I would call Qantas and request to be re-routed. If they say they can't do this, tell the agent in a firm but nice manner: "That's Unacceptable".
Also, Qantas link are starting to use one class 717's PER-DRW so no J/D/I in these either.
For example on 29th October there are two direct flights:
at 8:05am QF792 is a 2 class 73H and has "J9 D9 I0 U2 Y9 B9 H9 ...".
at 11:45am QF1942 (via ASP) is a 1 class 717 and has "Y9 B9 H9 K9 M9 R9 ..."

Are your flights open dated or on fixed dates ?
