Just wanted to pay homage to one of my favourite routes, QF8419 and QF8418 (#EK419 #EK418).

I avoid Qantas, so I use my QF points to fly EK, mostly on QF8418 and QF8419 (which is why I am filing this under "Airlines and their Loyalty Programs, Qantas").

I know from other sources this was a beloved route, so wanted to "Press [Post thread] to pay respects".

Rest in peace, my friend. Qantas points will never be the same for me.

It was a nice way to fly from Sydney to Bangkok, and often good J/F award availability too.

Is this no longer available?
 
Flew back from BKK in March on EK418. Had 16 seats in Y around me for myself and probably 1 FA for 3 passengers in that section of the plane. I can understand why it was axed TBH
 
Bump - a few nights ago I met an EK cabin crew member who also knew and loved this flight (it helped she was from Bangkok).
 
The EK tag flights ex-Australia to South East Asia was a huge points redemption/burner/FF run back in the day.
Combined with plenty of travellers on the cheap (low yield) fares.
