Dubai --> MELBOURNE

[Screwed™]

Mel --> Dubai, just about direct.
Dubai --> Melbourne, tracked South/South East after Indonesia and went down around the bottom of Oz, across south of Adelaide to MEL.

That usual???

Hi

I must assume the winds that way were more favourable or Military Activity around the Northern route. ???

What was the flight time ?? as compared with the schedule

This may not sound relevant to the Dubai-Melbourne route, and my experience may be unrelated, but I've flown PER-ADL a few times and it's been an inland route, however last time (Feb) we were much further south and followed the coast virtually all the way to ADL which sounds like a similar routing to yours.
