The first Auckland-Adelaide flight takes off today.
The route will operate four times a week until May next year.
Herald Senior Business reporter John Weekes says  Qantas tried to run these flights nearly 20 years ago.
He says a lot has changed since then, including an increase in the demand to travel across the Tasman.
