QF32 (A380) returns for 1 (?) flight. SIN-MEL 1st December 2025.

[Austman]

All this week, from 24th until 30th November, it seems the usual MEL-SIN-MEL QF35/QF36 and QF37/QF38 A330 (occasionally a B787) rotations are being replaced by a single MEL-SIN-MEL QF37/QF38 rotation but operated by an A380. All 4 classes are being sold on the A380.

On 1st December, MEL-SIN-MEL QF35/QF36 and QF37/QF38 A330 rotations will both start operating again together with a SIN-MEL A380 service designated as QF32. (returning from operating QF37 on 30th November?)

QF32 looks to be operating for one flight only? So on 1st December only, there will be 3 x SIN-MEL flights: 2 x A330s and 1 x A380. Quite a bump in capacity.

There currently is classic award availability for 3 of the 4 classes on QF32!

Wonder what triggered that decision? Presumably 330 fleet availability (do they need the 330 capacity to move the barmy army around Australia that week)?

I could picture it also needed for the first week of school holidays but that’s too early.

My best guess

Our cruise arrives in Singapore on evening 30 November but disembarks 1 November
I’m also aware the Crown Princess ex Australia (you know the one arrives on 29 November. Probably needs be able to ferry a couple of AFFers home)
Whether the Poms who have booked out hotels during test matches this season are arriving early and heading to Brissy for the 2nd Test means other people gotta be accommodated too

Doubt the early test finish affected their schedules, tourists usually don’t like change fees etc. Now Usman needing to get to his 8AM Royal Brisbane tee time…….

I think you mean 'disembarks 1 December...'
