Qantas Project Sunrise & A350-1000ULR Discussion

the transit in sydney complicates things. And you’d arrive in NY too tired to drive

LAX is fairly easy to get to a nearby hotel.

Just the thought of TSA security though…

We catch a Long Island Limosuines limo normally. Waits outside and drops us off at the daughter's place.

We stayed in a hotel in Burbank last time, just near WB Studios which we did a tour.

TSA hasn't been an issue for us. I have a urostomy so that attracts attention, but the LAX TSA guys were much more understanding than the cough at MEL the last time out.

I predict JFK services will be on sale from the last Thursday of August in 2027, with DSC to boost bookings.

DSC to boost bookings?
I see it differently
DSC are used to promote the more expensive flights. Often prices come down after a DSC period

It’s more likely that when the launch happens there might be a few points planes flights to create some positive buzz in the media, but practically if there are not points plane flights for the return journey say a few weeks or so later it’s not much help as one way international flights are expensive.

Same fares they’re charging now for the non-stops. So there’s not gonna be a massive increase. If they can fill enough for the PER-LHR/CDG/FCO then they mush be ok with JFK/LHR

How do you figure that? The fare say Sydney to JFK will have a premium of 20% put on it over the fares you currently have to pay to get from one to the other . VH confirmed that in New York today or yesterday. The fact that it’s the same as the premium Perth to London doesn’t mean it’s not going to be a substantial increase in Sydney to New York.!

You’ll be paying 20% more to get to New York three hours earlier.

The JFK flights will be one of the more expensive, if not the most expensive single flight number ticket Qantas sells.
