Qantas' Impending Change to Tokyo Flight Schedule

[justinbrett]

No. They're not going to stop selling tickets that go to "Tokyo".

When the schedule change happens, they're move people accordingly.

QF is going to be very careful with this after the recent ACCC court case.

Swapping between NRT & HND is not trivial, it will break connecting itineraries. And there is the matter of pax who have booked non-refundable hotels.

I'm sure the changes will happen at some point, but I can't see QF just sitting on the changes without announcing them. There hasn't been a single QF media release about the extra HND capacity.

I agree which is very strange.

I suspect what may end up happening is them applying for some sort of extension to the start date or just shifting MEL initially. That would be less disruptive (and if you need NRT, it is still possible to shift to MEL - BNE - NRT as those flights land around the same time in NRT).

That's what I was thinking, or doing a 4/3 split between HND & NRT for both MEL & BNE until the NW schedule starts.

And weirdly another change to same flight today and another e-ticket. 6:40 has become 6:55.

The timetable for QF26 is currently showing a 0640 departure until Apr 21, where it changes to 0655, then back to 0640 at the start of June.

So, does any AFFer have a clue as to when we can fly BNE-HND?

If they aren't using the slot for something by the end of April, ISAC is likely to query them about it.

Here’s hoping

I got all excited when I got an email saying my booking on QF 26 had changed.
It turned out the departure time was going to be 15 minutes later.
I think I can live with that.

Same happened with me…only it was a change of 5 minutes!

Have you accepted or will you go via SIN, ADL, HBT and JFK?

Thread 'QF Flight Time Change - Should I accept an interesting re-routing?'

Wednesday at 12:10 PM

I have a booking for two passengers as Classic Rewards business class flights. original booking is BNE-CNS-AYQ. This involves 17 hour overnight "transit" in Cairns for which I have booked a hotel. The BNE-CNS has had a minor schedule (-15 mins) and aircraft change (E190 -> B738).

However, the app is offering me other flight options in addition to the minor time change, including QF51- QF2-JQ660 BNE-SIN-SYD-AYQ, or QF51-QF292-JQ660. So with that routing, we would arrive into AYQ just a few hours later than going via CNS, and I can cancel the hotel booking and we get two QF International...
