QF PE went with the B747 retirement. Until they get B787 up and back, it’ll only be J/Y on QF.
The aircraft sits all day in HND not sure QF can commit to that utilization for the 787.

Correct. I vaguely recall the opening of additional slots in HND just before Covid was somehow going to change that but I could be wrong. Or perhaps VA picking up some slots scuppered that plan?The aircraft sits all day in HND not sure QF can commit to that utilization for the 787.
Yup, @Saab34 , I just got reamed on an unexpected short notice booking to the US... it's obscene to have to pay nearly $5k for YI don’t think much will change for the next year at least.
Doubt we will see much growth on the domestic front, the margins they are getting at the moment are off the charts clearly. People are paying whatever, including me who had to buy some outrageously expensive last minute fares recently but what exactly is the other option.
The only extra aircraft arriving appears to be Virgin and MAX aircraft next year. Rex said they will try and add 2 later next year.
If you’re wanting to travel peak, book well ahead. If you’re after a longer haul domestic last minute, expect to be taken to the cleaners.
Don't get me started on THAT debaucle, @AIRwin . I activated the code and silly me thought that meant it linked to my ff acct and would apply it. After booking/paying and getting a receipt sent I saw no mention of a credit I did the unthinkable and rang CC. Needless to say, after being transferred numerous times over more than 3 hours they were useless. Supposedly they'll get back to me in 7 days, shame I depart in 3.Did you use your $50 discount code?
And that $50 code offer was salt in the wound... I had only just returned from a trip to the US where my outbound was changed 3 times and my return departure from DFW was changed/cancelled 5 times thus delayed by ~14hrs (w/ no offer of assistance and literally 1 email that was received after the fact... I kept checking the app to see the changes) and then had to ON in SYD due to ADL curfew... frustrating to get no 'apology' nor credit for that comedy of errors whilst EVERYONE gets a free $50 credit.Did you use your $50 discount code?
FWIW, @pauly7 , the fares for July are about that too. Precovid I typically paid between 3 and 4k for a short notice QFThat was happening pre-covid, on all airlines.
VA have just launched theirs…Will be interesting to see whether QF run a Black Friday or Xmas Sale as per previous years or with current demand they decide not to bother.

Looking at next Nov for flights to UK. (not even bothering with points ) is it likely Qantas will have a sale ?
