I am so happy. My summer flights are now sorted.

The new QR904 offers a superior timing by arriving AKL before 7am, which offers perfect connection with Cathay Pacific's seasonal CX128 with a quick shower stop at Qantas Auckland lounge.

The return flight timing is super perfect, which you can check out hotel in Auckland, go and have a shower and lie flat, get fed on the way to Melbourne. No more worries for whether my B789 will be swapped with A333 on Qantas.

Change at Melbourne for a seamless same terminal transfer to Sydney and Brisbane.

Perhaps Jetstar should consider scrapping JQ217 and Codeshare with Qatar airways, so to allow Business travellers to arrive Auckland early.
