There's also heaps of Transpacific Qantas award availability to/from SFO at the moment, in all classes.

Elephants have also been known to mourn and it isn't unusual to see birds mourn their dead mate as well.

Birds do mourn in my experience.

LOL, the first beer

For past week hot cross buns are in Coles Gold Coast stores, i mean really

Not just Coles and Woolworths. Local bakeries doing it as well.

So heaps of QF availability but you can't get a seat on VA to save your life - go figure - how the pendulum has swung.

Indeed.

VA have been manufacturing pesos hand over foot with recent promotions, but getting a long haul J seat on the 77W is nigh on impossible now.


QF is still hard for a J or F seat ex-MEL unless you are WP or above and can have one opened up. But QF availability is healthy ex-SYD and BNE.

To be fair, the holiday itself is damned early this year.

Yes, the major obstacle to a World Calendar where every day falls on the same date!

That'd be Nov 9 would it? Shame I want 2 seats LAX-MEL on Oct 4!

But booking for December this year the only availability for 2 J awards on QF was out of MEL.So will get to experience the MEL Flounge.

That is ex-Sydney.

I didn't mean ticket origin, I meant seats on individual sectors (e.g. QF93/94 - MEL-LAX-MEL).

Yes, you can route MEL-SYD-SFO with good availability right now. BNE-LAX also generally has good availability in J.

Oh - I don;t mind a connecting segment ...

When did you book this mystery fare?

Some days it feels like [-]Qantas[/-] Sydney Airways blocks availability from your home port to force you to connect.

They were almost certainly there five weeks ago ...

Me neither, I am rarely in a hurry.

But it can be a royal PITA sometimes (e.g. when travelling with luggage, and I include self-loading cargo in that bucket).
