Article: Daytime Flights from Asia to Australia

[openseat]

There is a daytime CS CAN-SYD flight. I recently flew it on the return leg of a SYD-FCO-SYD trip ($990). It really helped with the jetlag to be able to go to bed soon after arrival rather than trying to power through a whole day after an overnight flight from Asia.

No J cabin on those JQi flights, would still go via SQ and SIN if I had to get to BKK/HKT.

JQ from DPS to Adelaide works well for us. Departs DPS at 11am and arrives around 5.30pm. So much better than the horrid midnight departure for a flight of 6 hours. Ruins the holiday feeling.

Unfortunately the Port Moresby daytime flights from Asia, will have to be ruled out of the equation........ since PNG is part of the Australian Continent and is not in Asia but a wonderful daytime flight anyway and a hidden gateway to Asia.

Does CX157 count? It leaves HKG at 1310 and arrives prior to Midnight in BNE?

Yes, that does count and we've just added it to the list. Thanks

I love the idea as I can’t sleep on flights but I’m in Canberra and a lot of the arrival times
mean I wouldn’t be able to get a connection that day.

I live in Canberra and would honestly prefer to just spend a night in Melbourne or Sydney on arrival and connect the next morning, rather than fly overnight (especially if it's in economy).

have never been able to sleep much at all on 'redeye' flights. Plus, flights from Singapore etc. are too short to get a proper night's rest - especially if they insist on waking you 90 mins before arrival.

SIN-MEL on TK:

Turkish Airlines Approved for More Flights into Australia

They announced that, but Singapore's aviation regulator says they've had nothing filed to the effect yet. Bit of a theme with TK... https://www.straitstimes.com/singapore/transport/no-application-from-turkish-airlines-for-planned-s-pore-australia-flights-says-caas I'm now thinking Bonza will...

Not really because TK cannot sell that sector alone.

In October 25 SQ 245 was booked heavily but it came up with an extra flight which was very cheap.
SQ265 SIN-BNE 0710 - 1645.
SQ 245 is also scheduled.
