Some observations on QF PER-SIN-SIN

[wandering_fred]

Firstly let me preface this with the statement I do my best to book this route from SIN not PER.
And perhaps some of the things I am seeing are a result of the northern hemisphere being summer and travel season.

QF seems to have eliminated award seats, even though the Y cabin in some cases looks very sparsely populated. But then I'm looking in the next month or so. They are happy to route via HKG or eastern Australia most days.

With the schedule change to move the ~0900 exSIN flight to 2330 the yields on the earlier 1930 flight must have seriously improved as routinely the sale fares only exist on the later flight.

BA seems to have finally been told to remove the cheaper fares from the earlier flight as the fares now are roughly comparable with QF on most flights. BA credits full mileage on all fares to AA where the fare code is acceptable. QF does not. Plus Q and N are not acceptable fare classes.

The 1155 exPER flight is also under-whelmingly supported when the available fare classes are examined. Alas it is still not early enough to make good connections in SIN with CX.

Is QF management trying to kill what should be one of the most reasonable non-SYD flights?

Happy wandering

Fred

Does the Yellow Cancer offer any decent timings? Do they even offer HalfClass on that route??
