189, with a partial row 1 does align with the Avelo configuration. If that is correct, then DEF has +5 inches of legroom rows 2-5, row 1 (ABC only) has +8 inches for the exit, as well as +2 inches for rows 2-4 ABC and rows 6-7 DEF. That would certainly make for a mixed bag for the 8 Rex...

According to Rex's Business Class page: These flights start on December 16, so you can bet they'll be operated by 8ZL, with no cabin changes. I assume/hope this is a temporary measure to provide extra capacity over the holidays...

This problem happens with Perth all the time, whether searched as a one way, return, or multi-leg booking on the QF website. In the case of Perth, it's not just Trans-Tasman bookings, either - I get it when looking for itineraries from North America, too. Things like YVR-SYD(J)-PER(Y), or...

Would be good to know how long this trip takes, especially T1 -> T4 via T3. The 10-13 min frequency equates to an average 6 min wait time + ~10 min bus ride? Who wants to be the first person to go for a ride and report back?

While most of us will be familiar with QFF being punitive when it comes to flying on QR, and vindictive when it comes to flying on MH, there is an oddity about earning on WestJet that I suspect is due to QFF being lazy, rather than something deliberate. Most things about the WestJet QFF Earn...

The ultimate expression of this concept is arguably WestJet, which always sells all of its narrow body front-of-plane-all-inclusive-class as Premium Economy. It directly competes with Air Canada's narrow body Business Class and is usually the same price. When WestJet operates their 787s...

Just got the Business upgrade success SMS for QF76 from YVR on 19/3 - almost exactly 60 hours before departure. Both passengers are WP and this was a classic upgrade from Premium.

As per my post, I'm referring to WestJet pricing better for one way fares. For example, 7 March has QF76 for $2,507 CAD, or WS6012 for $1,841 CAD - both in premium.

For those who may be after more reasonable one way fares, particularly in Premium Economy, WestJet has just reinstated their codeshare (WS6013/WS6012) on QF75/QF76. Note that they don't sell Business on the codeshare and you won't get status credits or any Qantas status benefits on the WS...

From the Australian market perspective, you're right. Sadly, from the Canadian perspective, Air Canada isn't necessarily viewed as insipid and QF brand recognition isn't high. Hopefully WS reactivates their codeshare and gets more Canadians onboard. I've resorted to European and Asian routings...

After Canada was name-dropped by Qantas as a "COVID-safe destination" in this morning's press release, I did some digging into the flight schedules... Lo and behold, QF75/QF76 is back, with the first flight currently on sale for 18/12/21. It appears to be following its familiar schedule of...

I'm referring to both intra-NSW (as per your example), as well as the states/territories that are expected to play ball (ie. VIC & ACT). If a rapid antigen test is sufficient for an international arrival (who is also fully vaccinated and passed the 72-hour pre-departure test) to board a...

How does a Sydney-centric network work for other places (including regional areas without international air access) if the primary COVID border measure is home quarantine? A lot of travel demand may hinge on how travel to places beyond Sydney can be facilitated for international arrivals, prior...

Looks like first flight is currently BNE-LAX on 19/12/21. The first few months have 332s on Wed, Fri and Sun, ex BNE. The 789 flights on the other days of the week look to be zeroed out at the moment.

With 251 seats in total (27 Business, 0 Premium, 224 Economy) compared to 236 seats in total (42 Business, 28 Premium, 166 Economy), the 330-200s also have a larger capacity than the 787-9s. Is this about getting a few more seats on the market, or are some reconfigs on the horizon? Less seats...
