QF must be the most overhyped airline in the world.
And Frequent Flyer?Most days I think the media department is their most successful one...
And Frequent Flyer?
LAS has to be a joke right?
Where is the demand for SEA coming from?
QF have the stats on onward connections from LAX, SFO, YVR etc and presumably a lot of people booking are flying onto SEA. Similarly, AS customers coming the other way would prefer non-stop codeshare over hubbing it.Where is the demand for SEA coming from?
Please provide a link to their (that is Qantas) [route] media announcements . As opposed too some blogger.They may as well announce flights to the moon - how silly.
The ambitiousness of their media announcements is inversely proportional to the quality of the offering lately.

SEA in the NW corner of the lower 48 far less so for. A car ride from YVR
A lot of non-Greek heritage Australians are going to Greece / Med over the Oz winter. At the moment booking via QF it’s EK metal one stop all the way from most Oz capitals or two stops from the east via LHR then the old track on BA to ATH.ATH is a weird one. I know MEL in particular has a large Greek population but the Greeks I know that travel back to the homeland are all pretty price conscious and it seems more of a JQ market. I know a few of them even fly with Scoot despite having the funds for better options.
SEA is the other big tech and aviation hub. The excellent onward connections with another OW partner also makes it mutually beneficial for QF and AS. I could see them rebalancing the loads across YVR, SEA, SFO and LAX but they’ll still need more planes to make it work. So I won’t hold my breath.Still haven’t spent any meaningful time in the US so can’t speak of what’s best but SEA does seem sensible as a hub for AS and growing that partnership.

For all that I consider ORD would be a success. Any route needs paid business class passengers. And many USA domestic and international flights from ORD. Air NZ used to fly AKL-ORD, but CV19 and aircraft issues ended that.
