Hello everyone. Brand new to this site.

I am planning on non-reving on QF from LAX to SYD (going through BNE or AKL if needed) next week. Does anyone know how often those flights get weight restricted? I tried a few years ago to go LAX-AKL and the flight had over 100 seats but they let no standbys on, so I am a bit nervous about that.

Also, I know SYD/MEL leave LAX from TBIT but BNE/AKL leave from T4. If I dont get on a SYD flight from TBIT is there time to get over to a BNE or AKL flight from T4? There is about 1-1.25 hours between flights.

Thanks!
