Enhancements to the schedule include: a retimed dedicated Christchurch to Sydney service to a morning departure, retimed flights between Auckland and Wellington to Australia and amended flight numbers, providing a more sequential alignment to simplify bookings.
The dedicated Christchurch to Sydney service (QF138) has moved from an afternoon departure to a 7:30am departure, enabling more international connections from Sydney, and Sydney to Christchurch (QF139) has moved to a 6:50pm departure. It removes the need for South Island residents to fly via Auckland to connect with key international flights out of Sydney and complements the existing Emirates service by providing a double daily service scheduled at either end of the day.
Qantas flights between Auckland, Wellington and Christchurch to Australia have been retimed to increase the number of onward connections to the Australian domestic network, Asia, the US and UK and Europe, and reduce overlap of Qantas and Emirates flights.
As part of the network changes, Qantas has also amended the flight numbers on its trans-Tasman schedule, providing a more sequential alignment to simplify bookings.
The suite of enhancements to the trans-Tasman schedule follows the launch of the joint Qantas and Emirates network across the Tasman on 14 August.
The new Qantas and Emirates schedule offers around 130 services per week from Auckland, Christchurch, Wellington and Queenstown across the Tasman to a joint network covering more than 175 destinations in Australia, Asia, the Middle East, North Africa, the UK and Europe. New Zealanders now have access to aligned fares, codeshare services and frequent flyer benefits.
