I think all this talk of fraying oz-europe ties is kind of pointless. It’s subjective and anecdotal. For every person saying that europe is doomed, you can find someone like me - all I see are my friends holidaying in the med every year. I read the “money diaries” section in the age sometimes and I...

Jump to postI see they've used the QF59/60 flight number pair for the second SYD-HND flight. Those flight numbers were previously BNE-SFO vv.

Jump to postBA leases the two LHR slots from QF. Usually on a five year basis. I’m unsure when the current lease is set to expire. My understanding is they have another early afternoon and evening departure. Considering how often QF9/10 is oversold it wouldn’t surprise me if QF assumed the slots if the lease e...
Jump to postWas Flybe the operator/ lessee for 2 of 4 QF’s owned LHR slots (i could be wrong) With them going bust yesterday what time frame do these slots have to be used and operated by . I don't see Qantas using these until the A350 arrives in a little over 2 years time.
Jump to postThis article would suggest Qantas believes it to be real. They should treat others bags as they would treat their own, this behaviour is unacceptable. However this does raise a number of concerns and why one would willingly risk their jobs to share such content on social media that they know they w...
Jump to postUnrelated, I also noticed QF have reinstated their AYQ-CNS flight (or was it a one-off on Sunday?) which surely wouldn’t have run throughout the pandemic given the lack of foreign tourists?

They have underestimated demand as some flights even up to 2 weeks in advance are full in business class and premium economy but plenty is seats in economy . Proof that 787’s are not premium heavy for the LAX market and more services need to be added sooner rather than later . But with delta and Uni...
Jump to postI am surprised there were seats available in the school holidays. I looked at all QLD destinations from Sydney from the 20th JUN to 13th July and there was not 1 half priced seat available to most destinations up North and I had checked as soon as they were released - very crafty Qantas !!

Jump to postIt's been 11 months since this thread started. Is QF ACTUALLY CLOSE to making a decision? We may know more when FY details are released on 22nd August and again at the time of the AGM on the 25th October , although AJ has advised publicly that a decision would be made before the end of the year .
Jump to postI think you could see BNE-DFW with QF on their 789 however from MEL there would be payload restrictions on the return from DFW. This would perhaps be a project sunrise route - thoughts ? I would think the A380 would stay on DFW as any spare 789 capacity on QF would be used for new routes not already...

If the 789's are carrying payload they probably have 100-200nm extra range under the belt. I'm surprised Qantas isnt talking about Melbourne to Athens. Only 200nm further.
