Hi Guys and gals,
what do you think about QF announcing its going to recommence CHC-WLG, and tart up the 737's?
Used to work at NZ... i think they'll be a little worried?:bored:

Speaking as someone who flies WLG-CHC-WLG at least 50 times a year, saying that they are targeting business flyers and that they will fly WLG-CHC-WLG twice a day is an oxymoron. Three things matter to me on main trunk domestic - frequency, frequency and frequency. NZ have 16.15, 17.30 and 18.30 departures from CHC to WLG. That is all that matters to me. I actually get on the flight I originally booked on less than half the time.
As for food and drink on a 30 minute flight - all that does is disrupt my afternoon nap, even if it is only the person next to me who is slurping away. the free newspaper and food I get in the Koru Club. I have been a much happier domestic passenger since they got rid of the food service.
I'll also be interested to see how much an extra QF aircraft actually does improve their absolutely appalling on time performance AKL-WLG.
