Qantas's 321XLR also divert some of the older 330-200s from domestic to international. Plus the A380 return and Sunrise aircraft arriving within 18 months and QFi has lots of possible expansion.
QFi to QFi transit in SYD is fine but obviously a one stop option ex AKL to Europe is nice. As will PER-AKL-JFK.
Probably a coin toss flying AKL-Oz-JNB? Some will prefer the SYD F lounge (as applicable). Many others may like to break the journey somewhere closer to the middle.
The HNL move to pull JQ might be a hint of some future arrangement with HA once they join OW?
It’ll be interesting to see where they redeploy JQ B787s? KUL?
Shocking idea, too close to Sin and there are already a stack of cheap flights to KUL including many via DPS to chase the dollar conscious. 3k have struggled with KUL .
JQ operated A330s to KUL in the late 00s.
