QF can actually afford to take an A330-300 out of action for two weeks? And whats with the odd diversion to Colombo?

Exactly what I was wondering too. For 2 weeks!

Colombo must be a replacement for Karachi?

I can't fathom why, Karachi was at least in the right direction, Perhaps its a three day beach stay?

There have a been a few articles about this trip in various newspaper travel sections over the past month. Business Class is all sold out only whY remains.

I reckon one could book same itinerary on OW carriers in whY for much less.

The money here is not made on the airfare alone, but rather the exclusivity and all the side trips. I think I read somewhere that despite being in Y, the cabin will be so lightly loaded that Y pax will still be "relatively comfortable".

At two weeks, that's conservatively about $3600 per day (minimum, not Business Class). I know Captain's Choice tours are reputably not cheap, but I'm sure many here could make a fantastic experience for two weeks with that kind of money, and pocket the change, too.

Pakistan is more dangerous than Sri Lanka? What do Australians need to do to get a visa for Pakistan vs Sri Lanka?

It just seems odd to go to Colombo. If Karachi is avoided due to safety, I'm sure they could just skip it and head west.

This trip is guided tours at each stop. Turns me off the entire idea.

Maybe someone in Sri Lanka gave them a kickback for a confirmed booking for up to 186 people.
