Qantas' Impending Change to Tokyo Flight Schedule

I am hoping they don't touch Narita to Brisbane flight, until like June, last flight Sunday 8 June from NRT will suit me fine.;)
I’m hoping that it changes to HND by the end of March, due to an already booked domestic connection on JL. However, not looking good at the moment.

I would be happy just for confirmation one way or the other so as I can plan around it.

QF59 is still running in May, I’m booked on it.
So am I.

We current have this flight into HND, and our return flight departing from NRT. From the speculation on here, looks like this may be flipped around.

I’ve had flight schedules changed in the past but this will be the first time a flight has changed airports 😂

On a side note, we currently have a 3 hour connection for our HND-MEL flight and MEL-ADL flight, which will be cut to 90 minutes if the proposed schedule mentioned in this thread is correct. Hopefully Qantas will let us push the connecting flight to ADL to a later flight to restore the 3 hour connection. Cross that bridge if/when it happens though.

History would suggest zeroing out flights they don’t intend to operate is not a high priority.

But surely they wouldn’t be silly enough to deliberately do that given they’ve already been sprung once for it.

And still selling tickets to/from NRT while we all wait.
 
Which suggests they will have at least one NRT service as speculated with one of the two Syd flights moving
Just to clarify, my current bookings are BNE-NRT and NRT-BNE in April. QF is still selling that route, months ahead.

I have JL domestic flights already booked as connections.

I’d just like some confirmation from QF as to when the change of route (to BNE-HND and HND-BNE) commences so as I can plan accordingly.
 
I am sure they will happily move you to JQ for no extra!

I am chasing day flights in August for a group, so I am in a similar position.
 
They could shift Melbourne to Haneda and leave the 2 Sydney flights at Haneda and leave the Brisbane flight at NRT.

Then they could start a Sydney Narita flight on Jetstar and then shift the Brisbane flight to Haneda dropping one of the Sydney rotations.

I am sure Qantas are running the numbers and waiting for a better flight schedule ex Haneda.

Qantas could then send any passengers from Melbourne and Sydney to Brisbane via a domestic flight to connect to QF 61 to Narita for the short term.

Or they just send us all to Jetstar.
