Not that I would take it, but like I mentioned above, I know someone who would be in a better travel position, if she were to be able to do the flight direct, than go through SIN/KUL/BKK.
She has been in Aust a long time, but English is not like mine, ..., several times, her husband (not me), couldn't travel with her, it would help her a great deal when she wants to go visit family over there.
Would have to tell her coming back would be via SYD/MEL.

No, I don't gain anything by mentioned the newly redeveloped area of ADL airport.
I don't own any shares in AAL either, grin, once CX and MH comes back, that place to fly out of, will be a great one.
OT: pity that (Air)NZ is only using its neo planes ADL -> AKL, not their 787s when they come back flying to ADL.
The last time I cam back from AKL, incoming immi loos were bad, just 2 loos cubicles, and 2 ceramic trays for males to do #1, in 2 toilet zones, this was after deplaning, and prior to passport/incoming customs.
HKG CX came in the same time as my NZ 777, and it was full on with chinese people and their worldy possessions, this was pre covid of course.
Will have to check the QF schedule, non busy school holiday times, to see what the flying time out of ADL -> DEL is like.
Pretty sure its an overnight stopover for the SYD -> ADL sector, as a dom flight.
All the dates that I enter, into QF schedule, one way ADL -> DEL, even Sep shows sector not available, ...
ah, maybe a person has to start in SYD to get it, I have kept starting ADL...
If this is so, then it would not serve my friend any good.
Further into 2022, its all SYD -> MEL -> DEL.

After having a look at it, it will be too expensive for her, and complicated too, for my friend, will have to tell her that.
$1760 above is only Au - India sector, one way, coming back, additional $25xx flex Y fare, one week after the outgoing flight.
For her, ADL -> DEL $1735 is too $$$, thats for sure.
