Are you WP or P1, been getting non-hobart team even though I call a few mins after Hobart office opens in the morning.

I called this morning, got straight through to Hobart.

Tried for a 2 x J PER - FCO in Sept 2025, no dice. Didn't really have much hope, but worth a call.
Actually, just checked. Was showing I6 this morning. Now showing I0.

We tried to find another route to EU, but almost nothing was available. I could get to Hong Kong, but not anywhere in Europe.
LHR, CDG, HEL.

QF attendant said PER>FCO is almost never released. P1 could do a manual review, but WP almost never gets that route released. Some kind of embargo or block. His words.

We can't request a release on an Air France QF4222 can we? Has to be QF Metal?
Sept `25 is looking difficult at the moment...

You must just have simply bad luck! I’ve called QF a lot over the last few weeks and always got through to Hobart, just a lowely WP. Always calling in around 3 minutes to 9am, not sure if that has to do with it.

One single time I was waiting on hold for ages and then got suspicious so I checked Flightradar which revealed bad weather conditions in both SYD and MEL. Knowing what even one of those ports in poor conditions usually does to air traffic in this country, I decided to not waste my time (or take valuable support time from people who REALLY needed it urgently that day) and called again on the day after.

Yes it is. Aiming to go from PER > Europe in Sept for a wedding.
