The catering on the SYD-AKL flight is disappointing though but the flatbed means I can catch a bit more sleep on the way back (to make up for the early departure).
I've also never had any problems with points or SCs coming through.
I've done the AKL-SYD in J a few times (when the fare was around $AUD260ish, such a steal) but just last week booked the full SYD-AKL-SYD @ $AUD750 return. As others have said the OMG o'clock AKL-SYD is a killer however compared to $AUD1100ish for a Disc Y SYD-AKL and a flexi AKL-SYD on QF, the LA J both ways is an absolute bargain.

Just flew the J cabin AKL to SCL. Must say it's a lot better in terms of seat comfort to the QF J class on the 747's

Welcome to FlyerTalk Canny Man
The LAN J cabin is much better than the QF TT products, including the A330-200 Skybed Mk1, and very useful for the early morning departure (note I do not think of it as OMG'clock) to SYD. Of course the catering SYD-AKL is not up to full service J standards and the OTP
Still I like LAN but I am seriously reconsidering the value of maintaining WP status now.

Like the majority of WP's I would think, this one included.
