New Qantas route - Perth to Paris from July 2024

[SYD]

Thought AF had or are dumping domestics ...or most of them in favour of trains? A lot can be said for Oneworld anyway if routing via LHR for plenty of euro connections with BA.

Some, but certainly not all (for now).

Only 3 lines got cut, and they only concern ORY. CDG is not impacted. So in practice zero impact on Sunrise.

I don’t mind LHR but I’d also rather a couple of decent J flights via the ME rather than a connection at LHR on to an inferior Euro J product.

Again, that’s what QF effectively did with the deep EK partnership. There’s actually very few BA codeshares left but domestic hops are obvious handy onward flights if you’re already at LHR. Much easier than decamping into the city to catch a train.

And there are a group of people who refuse to fly ME airlines, but even that there are competition from SQ, CX etc against QF. QF is still behind them in product and service offerings.

Ironically I booked QF33/34 in November as part of Points Plane offering, I would not be surprised if I receive an email in the future from AAdvantage (ticketing agent) saying my QF33/34 flights are cancelled .....
