Just a thought. Do we now have a situation where Alliance can become an effective VirginLink (ala QantasLink). Hmmmm???
Dare I suggest AVV is perceived as LCC territory (as it is in fact). AVV will come into its own and be a very successful destination within the next 10 years due to the developments beyond Geelong, on the Bellarine Peninsular, and most certainly the proposed Western business city and the like. The W...

Jump to postIf Qantas says the Perth to London route is doing well, I am far more likely to believe Qantas than someone on the internet casting shade with no evidence behind it.

seems my assumption was correct. I did check source quoted above and no mention of the diversion when I checked. This also shows that Q source is quick to react, but in this case not quick enough. Anyway, we all know what is happening, cheers.

Jump to post^^QF always err on the conservative side when it comes to ops. Be great for the pax. 737 HBA - MEL, then 747 HBA - HBA. They are going to have a wow of a time. I suspect any SYD/BNE originating pax will be flying on that 747 from HBA to SYD.
