Which is why they came out with ‘temporary suspension due aircraft shortage’Would the fact VA have just dropped ADL-DPS go against them trying to ger rights to fly ADL-PER-DPS? Ie if they cant make a direct flight work, how are they going to sustain a one stop?
Yeah, not interested in Batik.And Batik Malaysia pulling their one-class 737 out of ADL-DPS (thus ending KUL), and replacing it with the 2-class 737 from Batik Indonesia (4x weekly) very much hands the J recliner market to ID on ADL-DPS.
Would you go via PER? assuming those ADL-PER-DPS rights are granted, basically a same-terminal transit as you're clearing immigration in ADL (plus getting to travel on a "international" tag flight on a domestic sector).Yeah, not interested in Batik.
If there is no VA from ADL we will just go to MEL or SYD and go with GA
Nope. Not interested in going via PER. and doing 2 3hr plus stints in a recliner. Easier to go to MEL and get proper J cabin on GAWould you go via PER? assuming those ADL-PER-DPS rights are granted, basically a same-terminal transit as you're clearing immigration in ADL (plus getting to travel on a "international" tag flight on a domestic sector).
O/N MEL and 0700 departure GA MEL DPSNope. Not interested in going via PER. and doing 2 3hr plus stints in a recliner. Easier to go to MEL and get proper J cabin on GA
Which is why we usually fly VA outbound as it leaves at a great time. . On the inbound we nearly always fly GA as I can’t do overnighters in recliner. Occasionally we will fly with SQ or MH so that is still an optionO/N MEL and 0700 departure GA MEL DPS![]()
I suppose the one stop being PER, is where they think the majority of pax will board and disembark from the Bali sector?Would the fact VA have just dropped ADL-DPS go against them trying to ger rights to fly ADL-PER-DPS? Ie if they cant make a direct flight work, how are they going to sustain a one stop?
Issue is ADL folk lose a direct flight.I'm not really sure what the issue is
My understanding though is that ADL-DPS direct will return once they have more aircraft. So eventually it might be ADL-DPS and ADL-PER-DPSThe issue is they are asking for more DPS traffic rights while dropping flights to DPS. Doesn't make a huge amount of sense.

Indonesian bilaterals requires the regional 'via big 4' services to be operated from the International terminals, hence international tag legs (with domestic leg-ony passengers requiring to pick up a 'D' sticker plus carry ID for 'immigration' on their boarding passes).Hold on.
Are JQ not wanting to fly these tag flights as Domestic also? I don’t think the intention was to fly International Terminal Cairns to International Melbourne?
