Really impressive - I had my doubts about BQB-MEL, but looks like it's been a success for JQ.

 

[Cruiser Elite]

I had my doubts about BQB-MEL

Presumably this requires a 788 - where will this be coming from?

A320 - as per the presser.

A320 - as per the presser.

Per quote : SYD- Osaka (not BDB). Long way on an A320…..

Was announced back in November but starts April 1 so presumably JQ have spammed the travel agents again “launching” th route.


(Note i thought I’d deleted Shanghai - Tokyo which would also presumably be A320).

First flight flown in by a Captain from Busselton. Special moment!

Oh the dilemma! JQ direct or QF to Perth +2.5hr drive

Tell VA that…SYD-CNS-HND on a 737…

They’re selling JQ13/14 SYD-KIK on a 788 from 02 Apr - so presumably there’s an aircraft cycling through from somewhere.

Separate flight numbers SYD-CNS, CNS-HND. It isn’t nonstop on a 738/73M.


Yes, was trying to work out were they getting one back from long term maintenance, or cannibalising one from another route?

Probably one they pulled from the MEL - DPS routing?
