Was booked in F QF redemption on EK in early August SYD-AKL-DXB-LHR. Now it seems to be changed, with no notification. Somewhat disappointed at losing an EK F sector and replacing with QF J. We had booked a car from home to SYD as EK allow this. Should we get any miles back and a replacement car or are QF allowed to downgrade a partner booking without compensation?
They'll only allow via MEL/BNE if First award space exists, but will rebook in J at no charge between syd and akl.
Chauffeur connect extends to Business class, so that should not change.

Before the introduction of the A332 NZ offers 264 additional premium class seats over Qantas. What matters is they cover the morning / afternoon peaks with 3 Class aircraft, then 1 class aircraft in the off-peak. There would be very little business demand for an midday AKL-SYD.
Travelling back on a friday, the last NZ flight with business class is at 16:05

Interesting to note that dummy bookings on Qantas' website says some (but not all) of the A330 flights are operated by Jetconnect. Am I safe in assuming this is in error? I presume they've forgotten to update the operating airline details for some of their flights.
Wouldn't be surprised if they're using Jetconnect cabin crew though.

QF have a policy of freely rebooking revenue First fares via MEL/BNE as long as there's an F seat, however that does not apply to awards.
They'll only allow via MEL/BNE if First award space exists, but will rebook in J at no charge between syd and akl.

The smaller QF red tail planes plying Au and NZ are still Jetconnect.
The wide bodies might be QF with its VH rego, but the small 737s that ply will still be ZK (Jetconnect).
