Fantastic way to get across to Auckland, New Zealand - through Emirates airlines. (Note: Flights are on Qantas as a codeshare)

yeah had put that as a comment, but updated to clarify
Those flights will be on Qantas planes.
No thanks… Double standards…
Fantastic way to get across to Auckland
and buy "Schaeffers New Zealand Style Deck Sealant…"
Thi is a terrible deal, last week i bought Air NZ return to AKL for $299
Do AirNZ still charge extra for food, luggage and entertainment though?
True, but last few times to NZ qantas had no IFE system on 737 and sometimes food is a packet of rice crackers. So for a 2.5-3 hour flight you can eat before you board. Luggage is $20 extra.
Could have gotten cheaper than $299 also, it was $299 for australia day dates.
All Qantas 737s either have seatback IFE (group 2) or QStreaming/Wifi Entertainment (group 1).
@beatthatflight: True but you need to bring your own device. Have flown to NZ with Qstreaming and no iPads supplied.
@UberIsCool: Yikes, that's not meant to happen! (I used to work with the Entertainment team). Flight crew wouldn't have been happy either…
Wow.. it’s cheaper than flying from Brisbane to melbourne on Qantas!!
Flying on Qantas? Never….horrible crew.
We recently flew to Wellington (could have gone to Auckland) with AirNZ for $599 return for two to Sydney, with carry-on luggage only (and they allowed a cabin wheelie case plus a day back, which I suspect may have been slightly over the 7kg allowance but no-one cared). It would have been extra $80 for checked luggage (23kg) for both of us - total = $679. So QF is still higher at $704, where checked luggage is not optional but auto included.
As UberIsCool said - for such a short flight do you really need the extras that QF include in the ticket price?
Oh and the real stinger - it cost us $450 for two one-way to go from Sydney to Canberra (I know - who wants to go to Canberra anyway?!?) with Emirates/QF after getting back from Wellington … and that was a Red e-Deal price! International deals such as what QF and AirNZ, etc offer only highlight how expensive it it so fly internally in Aust.
Emirates don't fly from Sydney to Auckland anymore. Those flights will be on Qantas planes.
