Any reason the Dugong can’t do SYD- JNB- SYD? In a couple of years time they’ll all be through the refit and we should have all 12 available at any one time as opposed to the 10-12 we have now depending on what is getting re-config’d, heavied, etc.
Could well do that Keg. On the 747 it’s a 4 day trip worth 32 Credit hours.It is only 25 Stick hours however with night credits it’s increased to 32 hours and got a great density of 7:50. 6 hours overtime too.
The rumour is spare A380s will do SYD-SFO and MEL-HKG. 747 Engineer told me that will become MEL-SIN-LHR soon so who knows. 😉😉
Melbourne premium pax dislike MEL-PER-LHR particularly P class however I can’t see them upsetting the game changer for now. Perhaps one day it switches to a PER to single European destination instead of LHR.
