ANTIPODEAN READERS and those planning to travel ”down under” for Christmas should note that Qantas are introducing, for the first time ever, direct flights between Adelade and Auckland. The service commences in December and uses a two class 168-seat Boeing 737-800. The new flights will operate from Adelaide on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays, night stopping and returning from Auckland on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays. Qantas also commenced an expansion of its New Zealand domestic jet operations this week, with the airline operating Boeing 737s between Christchurch and Rotorua and Christchurch and Wellington for the first time.
