Qantas schedules more flights to Asia, US + AKL/PER [AFR]

Re: Qf akl-per

Well Perth, you get a new service. Support it and it will stay or might even be extended to more weekly service. If you don't support it, it is justifying QFs decision to withdraw services

Loaded.

QF111 PER-AKL dep 2030 arr 0750+1 Fr, Sa
QF112 AKL-PER dep 1140 arr 1405 Sa Su

These are very similarly timed to the Air NZ flights, I would have thought they would do something a bit different - a redeye with an arrival in AKL at 0750 (which would feel like 0250) is not that appealing to me. In my opinion, this was one issue with the Air NZ service.

Re: Qf akl-per

It heartens me to think QF is looking to increase Intl routes after all the reductions in recent years.
Assume they must have spare capacity already in the form of A380 and A330 for the extra HKG and AKL services?

 

[Happy Trails]

Nothing yet on airlineroute.

Anyone know what day the extra A380 HKG service is?

Monday according to AusBT.
Suits me nicely.

I might just have to go to PER to support the AKL service! Now how can I work a JASA around that?

Monday according to AusBT.
Suits me nicely.

I thought Wednesday may be the day, reducing the crew layover times, Monday makes more sense for business traffic.

Red Roo,
Yippee, a second international destination on QF metal from Perth.
I'm doing handstands
How about Perth - Tokyo returning this summer too for the ski season?
These flights used to be packed over summer.

Forget Tokyo for skiing. Even better, fly into KIX. Not far from Hakuba. If you are going to Niseko you need another flight anyway

Re: Qantas International Rediscovers Perth

Wonder what the crew that operates to AKL does when the next flight isnt until 6 days later? I assume pax back to MEL/SYD/BNE?
