Qantas MEL-PER 787-9 service on Thursdays

[Mattg]

Has anyone noticed that Qantas is running a Boeing 787-9 on MEL-PER once per week? Sadly it's not going out of the international terminal, but Premium Economy is being sold as Y, which could be handy if you have status and can select a nicer seat.

QF773 and QF776 on Thursdays are the flights to look for.

I took QF773 MEL-PER on 24 OCT, booked about 2 months beforehand
As QF Silver I selected a W seat around 3 days out, but later got upgraded to J

Overall was a great option in the Dreamliner, if only this was available more frequently given the high demand and cost on PER fares currently.

Interestingly, even though it wasn't a tag flight, it still arrived through QFi terminal (i forget the T numbers) rather than the Domestic. But a least there was no customs rigmarole to go through.

T3, not unusual for flights into PER.
