According to ads in the Sunday Times EAAC are gonna be operating flights from mid Nov to mid Jan to SYD.
Looks like they are for Austravel only - just wondering if anyone knows where they will be routing through and what the comfy seats are like.
Anyone got any more info?
cheers ;)

When it was offered to me it was from LGW via BKK.

Took the time to give Austravel a buzz and they said it was tech stopping in CMB and then was non-stop to SYD from there. Sounds like quite a long stretch from CMB to SYD - is it poss in those old 200s?
Biz class at 50" pitch though sounds good - especially when compared to my usual route of Royal Brunei which is about £300 more!

As a crew member for eaac i can confirm we will be going via cmb to syd and it is for austravel .
3 class cabin .And we will have no problems making it on our a/c.
we have lots of new contracts in the pipeline for the next twelve months.

Britannia used to do this didn't they? I hope EAAC don't whinge half as much as the Britannia crews did!!:rolleyes:
Former flyer. AirLanka used to run the L1011-500's CMB-SYD-MEL-CMB, I'm sure the 742's would have no problems to SYD. :)
