QF Dreamliner international service

[UP4014]

Heard from a reliable source London to Perth non stop is being considered.

There is starting to be passenger push back with stopping in Dubai and of course QF set that fail up themselves.

Remember you read it on AFF first.

Was actually discussed at length on Fri morning on Sqawk Box on CNBC - they interviewed Joyce and AA Pres whoever he is - several other routes were also discussed but didn't really follow it.

The numbers have been crunched.

I guess some people have more time than me I don't read all the threads, I had to wait until I lunched with someone who knew.

Bypassing Dubai would be a bonus, but 18 hours in the air would be a hard road to travel even on a QF Dreamliner..

PER people struggle to make the short Asia hops work. Why would this route be a success?

Qantas May Fly to Chicago and American to Serve Good Food and Coffee - View from the Wing

There is also talk of SYD-ORD Chicago ...but that could be really stretching the range

Because per would be the transit point for australia to london

All the confirmed QF 787 orders are set to replace a number of 747s. They'll be replacing 747s on HKG, HND, SFO, YVR, LAX and JFK before they start new routes.

Qantas launched ORD flights about 10 years ago only to cancel them at the last minute. That would be a big win if they launched flights there.

Having to connect in LHR to other British cities would make me consider if I'd prefer to break the trip in half as it is, or go for a 19hr flight?

Won't be the first and won't be the last to miss a thread. So much info here impossible to keep track of ! But thought I would reference old thread as good discussion on the matter there too.

So itll be at least 5 years before they even think about new routes!
