Might have missed this but is there any news as to what time of day / night the service departs Perth?
From an SLF point of view, particularly if I'm in the pointy bit, a 9pm departure out of Perth and into LHR early morning has a certain appeal. That could work for those coming in from the East Coast. If however it's an early morning departure out of Perth then it makes it much harder for east coast connections, and a late afternoon arrival into LHR makes no difference.
Will QF get a say in this or does it depend on available slots at LHR ?
