OOL/ZQN not new !!!!
JQ did it twice a week(Mon & Fri) a few years back in winter only I think it was & it was an absolute disaster.
How do we know ?
Cos we flew it using Qantas ff pts in school holidays & flights was no where near full, probably 1/2 full if that.
Told many other people who also used their Qantas pts on other dates & said same thing.
JQ should fly BNE/ZQN not OOL/ZQN.
OOL is a pain in the butt for BNE pax. With 2 lots of stupid (non)security to go thru at OOL as well. (ie. security to get into domestic departures & then security again to get into international departures)
With a 0745 departure ex OOL for ZQN, it won't attract a lot of BNE pax, as they would need to start driving from BNE at 0400 & so get out of bed at 0300 or earlier.
VA/NZ do up to 10 return nonstop flights a week in winter & only opposition is a lonely QF flight once a week for something like 10 weeks a year only. This QF flight may even be scrapped.
Maybe JQ will announce BNE/ZQN later ?
