MEL/AKL has lots of nonstop options
if a Kiwi in SYD or CBR for business then don't want to be cutting work day short to suit schedules.
You'd think most people would rather get a red eye than have to spend another night in a hotel + airlines would probably have spare aircraft for flights at that time.
Corporate bosses don't want staff staying in hotels anymore than they have to. Nothing to do with cost, but rather marriage problems.
Better to have day off when return to NZL than to stay in a hotel overnight & waste another day in OZ due to time differences.
Business types don't fly JQ unless no other option.
