Or Keg, QF could fight back like they use to !!!!
A simple question?
Why does QF stop-over in SIN, BKK & HKG on flights to Europe?
Because they do not have the range to fly directly to Europe, correct?
Why does QF not fly direct to Chicago, Orlando & Dallas?
Because they do not have the range to fly directly to these ports, correct?
So surely the bean counters and operations people have looked at stop-overs, correct?
Simple answer is, they do and it's LAX but.
I wonder if anyone has ever thought about NAN as the stop-over?
Whilst Chicago & Orlando may be a bit too far range wise, Dallas would be an easy fit - I'd rather a 1 hour fuel stop in NAN and then flying straight into Dallas anytime over the delays in LAX. And surely it could be as simple as say, 3 less flights a week into LAX?
Air Pacific come on board with flights ex BNE that connect with the NAN flights - surely that's not hard.
It's just a thought and raised because of the comments above about Virgin beating QF to some other ports.
Bet some old timers would love a few nights at the old Mocambo again?
Gee it even brings back memories for us old and Ex staff who had great weekends in NAN - remember QF 3 Friday night at 19:00 - be in the pool at midnight in NAN - back on QF 4 at about 5:00am on Monday - they were the days.
But then again, maybe the bean counters have it under control, let Air New Zealand do some of the flying?
