What is the point of putting ADL on the international route map?

Probably just to rub it in and to make sure you know you'll have to fly with someone else.

You can book a QF ticket on a JQ flight from ADL to Bali

Only a single line coming out of Manila and that’s the Sydney route - currently operated by an A330.

I see two lines.

I see two lines.

Oh yes the line does diverge where it intersects with HKG-MEL

Seems to have worked pretty well for them domestically. Looking at the BITRE stats, Qantas only operates around 40% of QF coded domestic flights, the rest being outsourced to the various Qantaslink airlines.

If the arrangement with Finnair works out for them, we may see the current domestic model extended onto the international network as well.

It will work until it turns around and bites them. Standards are not the same, even domestically. This is just a replay of Boeing.

What is *Subject to borders referring to?

Sydney-Sapporo was the 'Niseko Express', maybe it's a typo and should say *Subject to (snow)boarders...

Qantas were assessing whether to recommence Sydney to Sapporo for the next ski season, but the plan has not materialised due to labour shortages at Sapporo Chitose Airport.

Wonder if SQ will still go ahead with resuming their CTS route in December?

It's been a while since Qantas have flown BNE-MNL which looks to be a route on that map. Haven't heard any mention of it coming back? Could be a good A321 route though.

Indeed it was a sign of things to come... Now QF will also need to remove PVG, add VLI to the route map and update the start date of DRW-SIN.

They’ve done all of that now…although they haven’t removed PVG (or added an *ends 28 July 2024). Maybe QF is indeed looking to reverse the decision after China’s Government launched visa free travel for Australians from July 1. They’ve also added PER-JNB and PER-AKL.

And they still have Adelaide on. Maybe they are going to start Adelaide to ... anywhere international?

321XLRs are lateand 220s aren't being cranked out en mass. So 2030 + we will see ADL flights

Qantas will resume Sydney to Sapporo flights in December 2025.

Operates 3 times a week until March 2026.

Glad you’ve mentioned it’s resumed because the first two paragraphs imply it’s a brand new route.

Regardless I’m surprised that both Brisbane and Melbourne flights still talk about Narita, isn’t there going to be a switch soon to Haneda?

They haven’t announced when those changes will go into effect.

New flight number QF107 given previously used QF39/40 have already been recycled

Old Beijing and JFK flights

I think this adds more weight to the likelihood QF drops to 3 services all to HND once the change happens. I don't see QF having the planes for 3 HND 1 NRT and 1 CTS next summer unless they can some more 330 flights whilst some of them are being refurbished.

Already loaded as QF107 / 108. Usual day up night back scheduling.

From what I can see no J awards, and only Classic Plus in Y (so approx 200k and $250 return)
