QF to use 717's on golden triangle

https://www.ausbt.com.au/qantas-to-f...ourne-brisbane

Can understand this for Sat pm & Sun am flights, but not Sun pm.

+ the writer doesn't seem to understand the difference between legroom & seat pitch.

FYI
You can have same seat config & seat pitch on 2 identical aircraft, but one might have more legroom due to seat back thickness variations. New seats tend to have much thinner seat back, are lighter & actually more comfortable, but some might disagree.

One person in their forum suggested that the displaced 738's might be used to break the virtual VA/NZ monopoly on BNE/ZQN. But aren't current QF flights BNE/ZQN Jetconnect & VA use all lower cost, kiwi crews from memory.

"VA/NZ have up to a dozen or so services a week & operate year round. QF have 2 a week for only about 10 weeks a year.

Just looked at flying in August (15-20) & fare was over $1200 in economy return, while I could fly to LAX return in economy for less."
