Hi all
My daughter has a homework challenge to try and fly from Adl in any order including PER, DRW, BNE, SYD, CBR,MEL and HBA then back to Adl
Any combination in 24hrs

All help appreciated
 
I assume it doesn't matter which airline/s are used?

I couldn't quite find a combination that takes under 24 hours (using real flights), but here's one at 24 hrs and 10 mins.

QF585 ADL 14:40 - PER 16:35
QF800 PER 17:30 - DRW 22:30
TT655 DRW 01:15 - BNE 05:25
QF1543 BNE 06:00 - CBR 07:50
QF1462 CBR 08:30 - SYD 09:25
QF1509 SYD 10:00 - HBA 11:55
VA1323 HBA 12:30 - MEL 13:45
QF685 MEL 13:55 - ADL 14:50

Great reply Mattg , my daughters teacher is saying she has a route in under 24hrs Im not sure she has looked at current flight schedules
Cheers
 
I love these kind of challenges...

Still a few dodgy connections, but here's one at exactly 24 hours using real schedules:

JQ693 ADL 21:40 -DRW 01:25
JQ673 DRW 02:10 - BNE 06:15
VA1206 BNE 06:30 - CBR 08:20
QF1462 CBR 08:30 - SYD 09:25
QF1509 SYD 10:00 - HBA 11:55
VA1323 HBA 12:30 - MEL 13:45
QF777 MEL 14:45 - PER 17:00
VA722 PER 17:20 - ADL 21:40
 
Have you tried using the QF flight that does ADL-CBR-BNE? QF706 then QF950 6:45 arriving BNE 11:10.

Probably need to start by looking at the routes with limited flight connections and build around those.

:D wow perfect 24 hours what would the SC be from all this :D
 
Sounds like you are trying to do a sc run. If so those connection times are just too tight
 
A few of us on AFF have actually looked at doing this last year and although they concentrated on VA v QF, I don't think anyone came up with a routing that was within 24h. I mused with something like this earlier in the year and still no routing could give realistic connection times and make it around Australia to all the capital cities in under 24 hours.
 
Cheers for all the answers, only 1 other was able to to complete the homework, their father is a pilot on Qf
 
Any updates on this thread ? Has the 10 min connection timing been solved?
