Not sure if BNE-POM-BNE is supposed to be a "budget'" flight. VA contracted QQ to put one of their F100s on the run in place of one of VA's 737s. Kept the same VA flight numbers, not sure if the ticket prices stayed the same. If the experience was better than the VA BNE-AKL-BNE legs on a VA 737, it probably says more about VA.
