As 25th March quickly approaches - D Day for EK to stop flying between BNE & MEL to AKL daily/at all .......... I am no closer to choosing what I do - nor tons of time to start to research all and every option quite yet.
So what are the options for someone seriously considering Frequent Flying loyalties from EK given their move to withdraw from the Tasman (AKL)?
I fly BNE-AKL 6 odd times and year, and BNE-PVG 2-3 times a year. Prefer flying via SIN - flying during day, and hoteling overnight in SIN both up and down.
I know, I can stick with EK and fly QF on the Tasman - however I expect Tasman rates to spike with QF and the options I have always had to book within 7 days of flying and not paying through the nose on EK flights. Plus more likely than not will not get usage of EK lounge?
Do I simply fly the cheapest again, both Tasman - and then look at sucking up MU direct flights BNE-PVG for a few years?
I value Wide Bodies over 737/A320's
I value baggage allowance.
