Would be nice of they started MEL-NAN again!
I was booked for one of those flights in it's final weeks and of course on the day the plane went "tech" and they moved everyone via SYD/BNE with an extra 10+ hours of flying time.
A brief argument from me and we were put via SYD on FJ saving about 5 hours over the PB option.
PB even gave me a full refund to my credit card
