About time QF did something more out of BNE!

BNE-HKG-BNE has been 4x weekly for years, loads are always strong particually now the flight connects onto LHR.

QF really need more international A330s!

QF doesn't wanna compete in CX and SQ territory out of BNE !

QF competes out of SYD and MEL and just hands BNE to SQ and CX on a platter.

BNE-HKG - CX 10 a week - QF 4

BNE-SIN - SQ 19 a week - QF 7 - EK 7

You can add Melbourne to that list -
CX MEL-HKG 21 a week QF 7

For all of you looking forward to not going to LAX I found this on another thread. Thought this might be a good thread to reproduce it.

My last trip was tiring, until I reached Dallas. Then it became intolerable. Standing with my hands above my head in that glass box like some F*****g ballerina, with my wallet going in another direction, complete with stick with years of work on it.......Oh, my.

Nothing, not even a tissue could remain in my pockets.

People are just not going to put up with it. I have to divide my time across the Atlantic, my family are both sides, and we play an active part in all their lives, but if that wasn't the case, I'd never come back.

Bush senior came on British TV years ago, telling us Brits what a great place to visit, the US was. And it is. But walking over hot coals to get in the door, after, what? 13 hours with book in times, just is not going to appeal to many people.

It's more than a shame, because both countries have a lot to offer. It really should not have to be like this.

Sorry for stealing your work LR, but didn't think you'd mind (too much).

Wouldnt be surprised to see SFO dropped off the network.. still running at a loss despite the current loads being ok. The yeild is crap on that run. And they are only running 4 flights a week.. hardly a consistant flight when you throw in all the adhoc cancellations.

QF would like to send the A330 to SFO, but there aren't enough airframes. Apparently it is doable direct with an IGW variant.

Yet again a perfect 777 route goes begging! :ugh:

A330 SYD-HNL-SFO. Got my vote.:ok:

Be better off with the Syd - Honno - Hongkoover:ok:

Who would go SYD-HNL-SFO when you can go SYD-SFO direct on UA. Bad call in my mind.

With AC the only outfit flying YVR this route is underserved. I do not believe there anyone who offers a stop over in HNL, on the same itinerary. Tourist season is about to kick off in Canada in December. Might be a good route to extend the JQ 330's at the very least.

Would this planning be in reaction to UA's plans to fly directly into HOU from Auckland? allowing the (seamless?) transitting to the CO network from Auckland.
anything that avoids LAX certainly has my vote. even if it is a knee jerk reaction, its certainly positive news.:D

(edit) I had my origin airport wrong, I have corrected it to show Auckland.

Some interesting rumours on FT
Rumor: Qf to begin dfw flights - FlyerTalk Forums

Flight times have appeared in Amadeus and Sabre commencing May 16

QF7 Sydney 1325 - Dallas Fort-Worth 1350
QF8 Dallas Fort-Worth 2200 - Brisbane 0500+2
QF8 Brisbane 0630 - Sydney 0805

Official QF pull out of SFO again and going to DFW as per above post.

No more direct SFO!:mad:
DFW is not exactly top of the list.Maybe the bizoids will jump for joy but...for anyone else??!!:bored:

maybe put another flight into LA ( yeah funny I know) to make up the difference.:rolleyes:

As part of the announcement the existing JFK services will increase to daily from June 2011.

I assume A330 still to operate JFK?

The operative being, "again". :mad:

An ill conceived knee jerk reaction that proves the theory that the clowns running our outfit have learnt nothing from the last 10-15 years of management cluster f@cks. :ugh:

Sfo shuts on 14may. No a330, no jetstar.

Those poor guys who work there.

QF have made a very very bad decision.

So zero gain in QF international flying. Well done clowns.

Jetstar will start flying into Oakland within the year, they have to send their next 3 330's somewhere! As usual they will need to pull QANTAS off the destination to make the Jetstar flights viable.
