v australia. Wots happening?
Crikey has published unconfirmed tip that Mel- Lax has been put back to next year. What about the suck, er, I mean customers who have bought tickets on the direct services.
Probably send them via Syd, seeing its the centre of the known universe. |
Just wait..........
...........'till Sunfish hears about this!
|
I read somewhere Cairns - Narita or one of the other 2 airports in Tokyo??? Also something about Sydney - Narita. My guess is if they did it would be syd-cns-nrt.
|
A quick look at the pax numbers for MEL-LAX 15/09 (the inaugural) shows a total of 78 pax in all classes, not including those on freebies :hmm:
These 78 may get a detour via SYD / BNE. |
The MEL LAX sectors are still in the GDS systems and quoting. I just checked 06 OCT and it is still there.
The problem is that UA are cutting the guts out of fares on the pond. As they are down to 3% commission they are being talked down substantially as they deserve. The UA fares are popping in 3-5 hundred bucks cheaper than the new kids, so the do attract attention and sales. QF and DL (not in that order) are the next 2 steps up. It seems UA is the problem child of the Pacific for loads at the moment, but QF VA & DL seem to have the loads but possibly not the yield. Interesting times. Best all EWL |
the drop in MEL-LAX has been rumoured but if it were true I would have expected them to have announced another new route for aircraft #4 which arrives next week.
|
Dont forget rerouting pax via SYD might pose problems, the MEL-LAX service is a 11am departure, so a morning arrival into lax, whilst the Sydney service is a 9pm flight. Not good if you have onward connections on the same day.
|
Skybus you might find the VA1 SYD-LAX retimed to an earlier departure ;)
