I thought I'd read previously that the 2nd route was BNE/LAX/JFK, perhaps not.
Qantas has announced a new route and the name for its second Boeing 787 Dreamliner as its first 787, "Great Southern Land", takes off on its first regular commercial flight.


Qantas will begin non-stop Dreamliner flights from Melbourne to San Francisco from late 2018.


"A significant number of our Melbourne passengers flying to Los Angeles already connect on to San Francisco. We also see strong demand from San Francisco, both from a tourism perspective and because of the business links between Melbourne and Silicon Valley," said Qantas International CEO Alison Webster.


The second Dreamliner has been named "Waltzing Matilda".
Qantas now has two Boeing 787-9s with eight ordered in total. The airline will take delivery of its third and fourth Dreamliners early next year, which will enable it to start its non-stop flights from Perth to London in March
.
