Demise of JQ35 Can anyone find a reasonable solution SYD/MEL/SYD ?

[infinity]

I have been panning around trying to find a replacement to the great JQ35 with a F Lounge on the way down and home in the next month

Best I can see is




Looks like nothing from SYD before the lunch menu kicks in ( there is a JQ flight around 9.00am).

I can't even use a Tiger price match against the above flights.

Only options look like the 1440 return from MEL that gets a quick lunch feed in!

Add cab fares o/n accommodation and its not worth it

Can others see a better way?

Flight tend to appear and disappear fairly regularly, if you wait it out something may pop up.

I've booked, had the flights removed, and then re-added a few weeks later for no apparent reason. Perhaps right now they've been "removed". Doesn't mean it's permanent.

Agreed, I hope JQ35 may reappear for the Aussie winter season, but wet season in Bali now will be partly to blame with lower tourist numbers

Sometimes there is a JQ10 SYD/MEL (ex HNL) on a Tuesday - well there was back on Tue 30 Sep.

Will keep an eye out for that


What time does it leave SYD?

It was about an hour after JQ35 so around 1600-1700 but as this was September it would've been Eastern Standard time so could have changed.

Maybe Syd-Akl on JQ for $129 might be the next best solution? Maybe can claim some GST back via TRS and buy some duty free grog to offset fares?
