Qantas Expands International Network - Commences Flights To Seoul & Bengaluru

[MEL_Traveller]

We should probably try and keep this discussion all on one thread, but dajop is right. The call centre is not going to know the first things about baggie transfer other than very simple connections in Australia.

I'm surprised Korea is ranked #6 higher than Japan and Indonesia:

Thanks to QF and JQ?

Thanks to QF and JQ?

And not KE or OZ?

Flights per week, KE - 7, OZ - 7, JQ -3, QF -3, TW-3, and possibility of Korean nationals transiting Japan, Hong Kong, Singapore, Philippines enroute too.

Commencing November 2, Jetstar's Boeing 787-8 Dreamliners will cruise between Sydney and Seoul three times a week.

It's just been a year but feels longer:

Almost another year with more JQ flights from/to BNE and SYD

Surely Melbourne is up next.

Taiwan is another interesting one. Eva has never ventured beyond BNE, always is full.

Perhaps a MEL or SYD opportunity?

Except that QF metal is exiting ICN from June, so losing a destination (JQ only).

 

[Ktan89]

I was about to book QF to ICN for July too not happy

I've done JQ Y to Seoul, better than expected

 

[jakeseven7]

Clearly more leisure / less premium travellers on this route so made sense to redeploy elsewhere.

Will probably be worse when they go to the slimline recaro seats soon.

Agreed, I’ve done some fairly long flights on the JQ 787s wasn’t terrible, certainly not put off by it - but 5 hours on the new A321N seats was not fun - would certainly avoid if that’s what’s going on the 787!
