RE: Do Airports Close During Runway Reconstruction?
They often do a bit at a time with a displaced threshold and move along. A lot of work is done a night and disruption is kept to a minimum as the airport derives its income from its customers. Closure is a last resort.

NZ is toxic amongst the road warriors, ( the ones who lost their Golden Wing points)
The general public and infrequent flyers don't have a problem with NZ, but unfortunately for the airline, those people are not the big spenders that all airlines crave.

RE: Two Or More Flights With Same Flight Number?
It happens twice every day. Both QF1 and QF9 are scheduled for flights longer than 24 hrs. So both days flights are airborne at the same time, no problem for ATC as they are on different sides of the world, but FR24 sometimes gets tangled up.

I think it has already been discussed on here. For memory the first class section becomes economy and economy also takes over the front of J . The strange thing is that the seat numbering for that section of Y has higher numbers than the J section behind. The J bar stays the same.
