Emirates and Qantas have begun taking bookings for their joint schedule between New Zealand and Australia.
The airlines, which formed an alliance in March, will jointly offer 130 services a week across the Tasman.
They say changes to the service will mean better flight times and more connections.
From October 1 all Emirates flights to Auckland will be operated by an Airbus A380, while Qantas has re-timed its existing Christchurch-Sydney service enabling more international connections from Sydney and will launch a new Perth-Auckland service.
Emirates president Tim Clark said the code-sharing, aligned fares and frequent flyer benefits would all add value for customers.
"These are the first significant signs of the Qantas-Emirates partnership at work across the Tasman and the advantages for our customers will continue to increase as the relationship grows.
"Through the partnership, the Emirates network has now been opened up to include Queenstown and Wellington in New Zealand in addition to the 55 destinations in Australia already on offer to our customers."
Qantas Group chief executive Alan Joyce said: "Our new Auckland-Perth service will cater for demand over the busy holiday season and our new trans-Tasman schedule offers better flight times and more connections to flights both in Australia and around the world."
