I don't think this has been posted - found this after noticing that timings seem to have changed while I was searching for SIN-BNE flights:

Ouch don't like that at all; well it could have been worse, an overnight flight.

I actually prefer the new arrival time into BNE

The SIN-BNE timing is fine if you're originating in SIN but means an overnight in SIN if originating elsewhere in SE Asia. This combination may also not be available unless using multi-city.

I liked the old midnight arrival into BNE as I could get some sleep before going to work. With new timings I either lose a day of holiday to make the EK connection or connect to the QF flight that arrives early morning.

I'm not sure how changing an 0940 arrival into MEL to 0020 relates to "greater connectivity to flights offered by codeshare partner, Qantas." ...

True, both the BNE and MEL flights don't offer (any?) connectivity at all.

You can now connect to all the flights between 0600 and 1000...

I'd say it's okay, it could use its own thread.

So there'll be 2 EK A388s parked at MEL all day long from 28/10... quite a waste.

Didn't realise EK434/435 was being upgauged to the a380 again as of Sep 1 - good to see.

Yes, seems to change back to the old timetable on Tue 16 Apr 2019. Strange.

So scheduled departure times for EK 404 (SIN-MEL sector) is:
Now- 27 OCT 22:40 (arrival 07:50 or 08:50 depending on DS time)
28 OCT - 30 MAR 13:55 (arrival 00:20 )
31 MAR - 15 APR 15:35 (arrival 00:45 or 01:45 depending on DS time)
16 Apr - onwards 22:40 (arrival 07:50)
