Domestic flights from Melb/Syd international terminals

[elanshin]

I see a couple in June

Hmm does seem to be JQ63 for SYD > MEL on June 3, 10 , 17 (Mon) and 7, 14 (Fri).

Other than that once we hit April it seems like theres not much scheduled anymore until nov/dec but who knows if that will stick being 9+ months out and with new 321NEO LRS coming in.

Don't think there's anything out of MEL anymore.

On the return its JQ47 on Fri (anyone know why they would send JQ47 up to SYD then 63 down to MEL on the same day?)

High risk of cancellation

Looks like these flights still appear on search results but can no longer be booked?

I can see JQ flights leaving from international terminals for sale. JQ63 this Wednesday from SYD to MEL.

Further out they may have frozen sales as they change schedules?

I'm booked on JQ3 next Thursday for MEL - SYD.

Lunch at QF F basically.

And spa hopefully?

The timing of JQ3 is fantastic. It's not busy in the airport, you get the all-day menu and it's very quiet in the F lounge.

With the introduction of A321neo flights between MEL and CNS there are now non 787 flights that run from international terminals.

Luckily one very easy way to find them is that all JQ international flights are in the range of JQ1-224 flight numbers. On ita matrix you can put JQ1-224+ (including the plus symbol) into the routing codes and then set the stops to non stops.

A search like this is going to give me all the JQ flights that depart from the SYD/MEL international terminal over the next month to either SYD/MEL/BNE/CNS.

I couldn’t help myself with today’s sale so booked a JQ 4 in October. $29 is just too good to pass up up.

Thanks for the heads up!

If one were a platinum and happened to nab a $29 SYD-MEL, that could make for a very pleasant three hours in the FLounge for oneself and ones companion. A long all-you-can eat and drink lunch in one of Sydney's better restaurants.

One would certainly get $29 worth of bubbly and amazing food, after which, crucially, one wouldn't need to go to Melbourne ... just cancel the ticket and forfeit your $29

I think you'll get into some trouble explaining to ABS ABF what you're doing.

Australian Bureau of Statistics wouldn't care, surely ?!

Woops ABF , although I'm sure the ABS would like to know how servings of S&P squid was consumed.

I have seen people exit from airside in other airports without any drama. Really surprised me but seemed to be no big deal. In one case, it was just to buy hamburgers for the kids.

Legend has it there's an airside exit near B22. Possibly that's the bus over to domestic, in which case, that would do nicely !

Personal emergency requiring cancelling the trip. They can't prevent you from doing it, sure might search any luggage but they have bigger concerns than a domestic passenger deciding not to travel.
