Aero Dili launching flights from Melbourne and Darwin to Timor Leste

How odd no red eye flights out of DRW

Last year I flew Dil-Drw-Syd (red eye) on Qf...so no overnight in Darwin. Felt like sh.t when landed in Sydney just after 0600!

Not really, Dilli does not have reliable runway lighting for a RPT service, bit like ZQN until a few years back.

Nope. My flight ex Dili last year took off 10 mins before sunset connecting to the 0135 Darwin redeye to Sydney.

But you were not leaving DRW for Dili at night which is my point, hence no red eyes, going the other way at last light doesn’t need lights. If you leave Darwin at night you need lights at Dili for arrival, hence no red eyes with the last arrival into Dili at 1700 odd. Plenty of DRW red eyes given it seems to be a place to send planes with no better option!

The responses were in relation to Dil-Drw-Cbr where the poster said he had to overnight in Drw. No one is talking about the other way to Dili.

I have booked DIL to CBR using QFF points.

The cost was $US156.50 and 23,300 points.

I will have to stay overnight in Darwin.
