Apparently ZK-JNB is already in the desert in Arizona; JNC has been parked up at Auckland ever since June 9 operating very rarely as a spare. It's fate is the desert too I believe. As for Jetstar I will not fly on them. As I'm an NZ staffer's nominee and can get aboard for peanuts at the last minute I shall retract my frequent flying to NZ. I was on DJ last week and was disappointed to be honest...FA's are losing their touch there indeed. My flight to Wellington resembled a bad drag show

ZK-JNO was cut up by ANZES at CHC a few weeks ago, NZ brought it to use the body as a cabin mock up for BBJs.
Here is JNO http://www.flickr.com/photos/shanes-...ls/3579182869/
Note look at the foward cargo door?

Qantas Domestic AKL last day
While waiting for my 15 minute late JQ flight last night the QP attendant remembered that I was on the last AKL-WLG flight and told me to look out on youtube.com for a video Wayne, AKL QP seen in the video, told her about.
So here it is Qantas Domestic AKL last day

Although, I have to say that the QFNZ 733 insides did need a bit of a touch up - the chipped walls, grubby fittings and odd floor coverings didn't exactly put QF in the greatest light. The video shows JTR operating the last flight, which is at least a bit 'fresher' than the 733s.
Ah well - NZ seemed to welcome me with open arms.
Not bad aircraft, either. (I wonder what it will be like when their 733s are replaced...)

I remember being on OJC in 2007 & it was very warned out inside.

JTR last NZ dom flight was QF2772 from ZQN to CHC, it actually landed on tome at 5:20pm.
JNC indeed operated QF2728 from WLG to AKL, arriving into AKL at 9:02pm, some 32 minutes late. Since then it been to MEL, and SYD but mainly operates the QF115/116/125/126 AKL/BNE routes.

Great video to mark the end of an era.

Nonetheless for other reasons I've had my first Jetstar flight in NZ (I've previously flown the 'star in Australia). Watch out for a cameo in my latest trip report.
