ANA to fly Tokyo - Perth

[cosi]

I am also waiting for news as I was a regular on this flight.

My Japanese contacts in Perth also don't know but we know the WA government is working on it.

When I hear, I will post an update.

Okay I used the ANA chat service and got this response

Keeping an eye on this with interest as well. Still holding out hope of a QF/JL alternative.

Perth Airport are optimistic this route will come back and are earmarking this to return in Q2 next year

Would be better if it was Q1!! But yes, if there was a JAL/QF alternative to this I would also be on it frequently. Having done the QF route way back when, I much, much preferred the direct flight rather than having to connect in SIN, KUL, SYD, or other. Not that there's anything wrong with those airports, it's just easier not having to connect.

Thanks for that. I didn't consider just asking the airline! :/

I feel like there's normally some PR talking points out in the wild that aren't necessarily part of the current script at the call centre though, so here's hoping that the stories about Perth Airport and the WA government pushing to get this back are true.

I have a reminder to regular check the ANA special link that was provided and will be continual asking the local Japanese community.

Hoping the service may resume in March in line with the bi-yearly schedule changes.

 

[cosi]

I always felt very confident the service would resume around the change of timetables at the end of March.

Now ET have confirmed this

Is ANA ready to restart Perth-Tokyo flights?

Blasphemy !!!!

Hoping that this will be a decent price in VFF points!

I was really surprised with this media report.

ANA pushes back return of Perth-Tokyo flights

The Japanese community and Japanese company staff will be bitterly disappointed.

TheWest is reporting a restart from end of October 3x weekly.

One would hope that MEL makes an appearance before PER

No competition for ANA ex Perth - just disappointing have to wait until October for the direct service.

Also many major Japanese trading companies have offices in Perth because of oil and mining.

I'd like this too but since they're continuing with the preCOVID plan of using their second HND slot to go double-daily SYD, it'll have to be NRT.

That's would offer some onward connectivity, though, which would be good if they ever get the FF reciprocity live with VA/Velocity.

You would think/hope that the partnership would be live for the initial CNS-HND service but this is VA we are talking about

Out of interest I had a look at flying Perth/Frankfurt in Nov/Dec. The cheapest J fare I could find was a "Business Special Plus" fare of $19,124 for 2. It required a "self arranged transfer" between Haneda and Narita plus long layovers both ways.

Fantastic news. With another local carrier, becoming increasingly interested in the HSBC CC with *A status...

Just thought that someone might find it useful.

Noticing some award flights starting to show on the route on Lifemiles, Aeroplan and Air NZ.
It looks like just one seat per flight at this stage.
Does anyone know if NH releases more seats closer to the departure dates?
