Jetstar new route Wishlist

I vaguely remember someone mentioning MEL to RAR but that doesn't appear to have eventuated. Anyone seen/ heard anything different?

I’d imagine the will hold that one until fuel drops a bit.

I'd be keen on that!

I doubt it. It would be great to see a Melbourne–Osaka service, but I just can’t see it happening.

When it comes to travel between Melbourne and Japan or Korea, Melbourne often gets shafted. I’m always struggling to find direct reward seats from Melbourne to Japan, which often means adding several hours to the journey by transiting through another destination. It's a real pain in the backside, especially when heading back home.

I know this is a Jetstar thread, but I’d love to see ANA fly to Melbourne one day. That would certainly give travellers another great option for getting to Japan from backwater Melbourne.

Not necessarily, this summer JL will ramp MEL-NRT back up to daily year round and QF will increase flights from daily to 11 weekly from December - March. Thats a 31% increase in flights compared to last year. Well Korea is a different story, seems like its on and off with that one, I guess a seasonal service is better than none.

MEL-Japan seems to be a high yielding market, if QF is willing to bump up to 11 weekly, I hope they will try experiment a little and add MEL-KIX next summer and hopefully MEL-CTS down the line. But I'm really hoping we will see JQ open Japan exMEL... and ZIPAIR.
