Qantas has announced 3x weekly seasonal flights from Sydney to Osaka during the summer. The A330-300 flights will run from 14 December 2017 until 24 March 2018.

This is the schedule, as per the QF website:

Surprised they haven't extended it into April to catch the full sakura season.

Off-peak transcon demand?

Great News to see the Red Roo expand on another International Route.

Although quite surprising considering the massive capacity that's been added by JL, ANA & QF recently into Tokyo, numbers must be considerably up ex Japan.

Sapporo must be next for a direct Flight ex Australia, one would have thought.

Last nights QF26 was 100% full in Y, a month or so back QF79 was also packed heading over. Only a couple of recent datapoints I know but based on my experience recently this new route seems to make sense.

And there are now some decent sale fares available. $699 return in Y or $3499 in J from SYD/CBR/BNE/MEL to KIX.

My Japan flights late last year were similarly chockers. It'd be nice to see a seasonal A380 a la HK.

Especially if they offered / sold genuine F as well.

Pulling an A330 from domestic which then gets covered by a 787 between MEL-LAX runs?

I think this is a likely scenario. Worth noting the KIX route ends on the same day PER-LHR starts on the 787.
