Final flights for the B767

[Awesom Andy]

I just happen to be in SYD for Xmas, and it looks quite interesting especially as I can now make it for dinner in SYD on Sat. Now to decide if I want to be in MEL earlier, or follow the plane down on QF435.

 

[Platinum A332]

Changed my flight......but I am yet to book anything down to Melbourne!

Would be great to join an AFF event at either end. Also, if anyone can guest a +1 into the J Lounge in Melbourne that would be great (unless, of course, the lounges are closed for yearly maintenance, then I am happy to guest anyone into the QP)

I have a feeling that will be the case...

All booked for the flight, nabbed the last Platinum reward seat

I'm back down in 34. The only pairs available to me further forward have no window...

If you are in 34A I'm sitting behind you .

It appears there are 4 window seats left! But a lot of empties in the middle.

I'm also in 34/K... but now have a real fear that if the flight is oversold I might find myself the recipient of an op-up to an aisle in J, spoiling my view

 

[AstroDamo]

Price is starting to head upwards now also, now up to $289 with five or fewer. Probably should book my flight from SYD - MEL soon just can't decide when

The same plane is doing QF435 at 13:00, and award seats are available in J.

As per expert flyer there are only a handful of (undesirable?) window seats (36K, 53K, 54A, 54K) left.. most at the back of the bus.

First time anyone's dreaded an op-up?

I have a block aswell - to whom it's blocked is another matter!

Back after a brief hiatus, and I'm glad I came back in time to see this thread and the AusBT list of final flights for each city pair. Booked onto QF452 in Y for the absolute bargain basement price of $289 :shock:.

Never thought I'd pay such an astronomical price for a seat up the back somewhere, but I'm just glad to be onboard. Also grabbed two Classic Award seats in J on the final SYD-BNE flight that same morning (QF 508 & 517), so I'll be riding the triangle all day. Just gotta find a cheapie flight down to MEL now...

Has AFF pushed up the price of the last 767 flight?

Has AFF pushed up the price of the last 767 flight?

Id suggest theres plenty of people not just aff members. .. who have an interest in being on the flight

 

[Princess Fiona]

Has AFF pushed up the price of the last 767 flight?

There are many people going on the flight who aren't members of AFF. A large contingent from the Facebook group and others aware of it through the article in AusBT which has since been updated with the revised schedule.

Indeed, I don't know the breakdown of members who are in both AFF and FFA, but presume the latter did more to push the price up

That being said, I think it's stabilised now, there was an initial surge and now it'll probably just be people booking for a non-symbolic flight.

If the numbers on Facebook are accurate it's in the 60's :shock:

Mind you some of us will be there as dual citizens

Sounds like a good turnout

That's what I thought. Though I haven't gone through this thread and done a tally... maybe another day

Same same but different.

I don't follow the other forums but sounds reasonable that people want to be on last 767 flight.

I have a few 767 flights between now and then and I will certainly miss the 767 aircraft on domestic opertations. There was a time there in my early commute where all flights I booked were 767s. Qantas has made that more difficult of late and I have also been having a high rate of substitutions.
