Qantas press conference Monday - AJ

[Kendall Roy]

Heard a rumour that this announcement will likely be a fizzer!

 

[samh004]

Don't suppose it'll be live on any news channels?

 

[markis10]

Wonder if its related to NTL expansion?

[Must...Fly!]

The a330 cabin refresh has already been announced.

Meant details & a proper date that isn't at least 18 months away!

Maybe new funding to Tourism nsw?

Not long...

Might be.... runway being lengthened and T1 QF being moved to NTL to allow further expansion of Deathstar into T1 :shock:

... with connection to very fast rail :mrgreen:

 

[gwilli1]

Any word yet ?

 

[cmon0005]

Nothing on ASX...

 

[samh004]

Just being announced now. Tourism partnership or some such. If you have sky news active, you can watch it live.

Boring!

C'mon QF give us some real good news, like new QFi routes or new aircraft.
No use having a big tourism campaign if all the tourists have to fly other airlines just to get here!

Glad to see its not more Sydney-centric BS....

Is there no limit to the ways in which QF has the capacity to disappoint?

Looks like it was an 'enhanced' press conference.

In fairness, it was not QF which raised any expectations. They sent a media alert to the media saying there was to be a press conference this morning - and the media then alerted us.

Probably would have been better if we'd not been told!

That was a bit of a let down. Great news for Sydney and NSW though.

People in SA and WA must really be starting to feel unloved now. First, Cut services....... Then promote another state as a destination.

I really thought Qantas would be flying to China by now. Surely that's going to be a country with incredible growth potential?

I'm sure markis10 can shed some light on that. He's a wealth of info!

That's a code share and not on QF metal though yeah??

EDIT QF129 Sorry. I should have added to my original post.... With a First Class fare.

No it is QF metal (A330)

Qantas operate a A330 to PVG, one heading there now.

I guess it is not as popular as I thought. 11hours in J on an A330 does not appeal to me.
