[moa999]

Is anybody going to be on this Sunday's inaugural SYD-OOL flight?

I hope not, there's a lot of SC to be had flying through SYD

Sure is! I have just booked a status run for next week on the route . MEL-SYD-OOL in flexible econ at $219 (20+20 x 2 for double SC promo = 80 SC ), then turn around and do OOL-SYD-MEL for 24,000 points on JASA plus $130 (40+40 x 2 = 160 SC). Miles earnt: 4500 plus approx 4000 for loyalty bonus = 8500. I think for $350 and 15500 points that 240 SC is not a bad day. Repeat x 5 and renew platinum.

Does anyone think they might start up other QF OOL routes like OOL-MEL?

Selfishly I hope not because I've snared some unbelievable SC earns by connecting thru Syd

Of course, depending on the number and timing of any potential future MEL-OOL flights, it doesn't necessarily mean that connections via SYD won't still be available. For example, while there are plenty of direct BNE-MEL flights, they still offer options via SYD.

not at the same price. you will be paying for a fare BNE-SYD and SYD-MEL. The routing rules on QF fares for BNE-MEL stipulate direct only.

True, though it would still make a reasonable JASA. Well, from my perspective anyway.

An average of 85% load factor across the board is not too shabby for the first 12 flights so far... I'm sure QF would be happy enough with that.

That number was reported by NoNews along with some video footage of some AFFers

Hey, while you were standing out around the aircraft I was pressed up against the glass inside like a dog.
