Hello All
I took this trip back in summer and recorded it using iPhone 6. So please bear with the video quality and shaky footage. It is very sad that we have lost all EK A380 on Tasman route of out AKL.
Background:
Every year Mrs DD takes kids back to NZ for Xmas. I booked their return flight on EK Business using QF points. I happened to be in Melbourne on the day they return, and the plan was that I fly MEL-SYD and meet them at Sydney Airport before heading home.
In early December, when I was planning the trip, I found a trans-Tasman EK F deal on QF Code. The additional SC will push my status just over 1400 to qualify WP for the first time. This would also give us an opportunity to experience EK F. On top of that, I booked this itinerary secretly to give Mrs DD and kids a big surprise. So I couldn't resist and book the flights.
So in the end, I will be flying MEL-AKL-SYD instead of MEL-SYD. Of course, i will give up my seat to Mrs DD on the AKL-SYD leg.
