I booked a MEL-NAN-MEL flight for my family in the September school holidays on Monday using Velocity points.

When speaking to the travel agent to organise accom, she said she was amazed the interest she had received regarding the new flights. I guess the price ($600 rtn) and friendly scheduling compared with Air Pacific/Qantas is leading to this interest.

G'day all,

Sorry to bring this topic back up. But as the new Nadi flights are commencing next week. I just wanted to ask if the rego block (VH- machine or ZK-Machines) for these flights, especially for the Adelaide flights. I know earlier in this thread I asked the same question but that was when the flights first came out, may not have been definate. But now it is close I just want to get a final clarifcation before they begin, just in case it is worth photgraphing especially if it the ZK- Block.

Hi, I´m a new user from Berlin/Germany.
We ( Air Berlin ), had in 2007 also flights from MUC to RKT ( 4580km ) with our B737-800. Normally we have 186 seats all economy. On this flight Air Berlin created a economy plus class with free middle seats in the first ten rows. This is a restriction and the carrier can earn a lot of more money for those seats.
I think DJ will increase the premium economy class and that´s it.

Welcome Andre...

Pacific Blue do a similar thing with their APW flight. They only sell 150 seats on those flights. I presume Bali would be the same.

The blocked middle seat idea however is a clever one!

I´ve booked the Jetstar "take a friend for free offer" SYD-DPS 23NOV for just 130€ ( 229AUD ) :-) and I think also the A330 ist the better choice on a 6.00h flight
