Qantas swaps Flight numbers

[MELso]

My QF499 next month got swapped to QF1265 when the 738 was swapped for an A220.

Fortunately my seat (8C) which I'd selected as a forward zone seat (before Economy Plus was rolled out) remained Economy Plus. The person who'd selected 8A as a forward zone was not so fortunate being pushed back to 10A.

Weekend flight? That seems to be norm out of Canberra now. Dash8s for everything. We've had flights to Brisbane and Hobart switched out to Dash8s. As we'd used points there was no flexibility to change.

Wow, HBA to CBR on a Dash8.
And only one loo onboard, limited space, ...
Not to mention, having to pick up your hold bags at the back of the plane, nice touch for once/twice, but no fun if its raining/or storms, esp BNE/Qld.
And yes, have done that several times, no, not that particular route, but did ADL -> MEL on the QF Dash8 a few years ago.
Guess tho, they save a lot of money by using smaller planes, and also letting/giving/issueing the flights QFlink.

It was an unexpected enhancement for the flight, in both directions, on what was supposed to be an E190.

We don't mind the Dash8s - they get you there and we think dropping off and getting our cabin bags at the back is better than waiting inside.

Lots of shuffling around now that the jungle jets are costing more to use
