Could an A330-200 in JQ seating configuration do AKL-LAX? JQ seats 38J/265 Tourist, the Qantas A330-200s that were used for AKL-LAX had 36J/199 Tourist. That is a lot of extra bodies in the JQ version. And Qantas is a codeshare partner for AA and BA on the route. Maybe AA does not care what passengers who are riding on their tickets have to sit in, but the passengers may find the ride is a bit less than they were expecting.
