Qantas to start flights from Darwin to Singapore

[CaptJCool]

But I wonder who would do the retimed DRW flight. Current QF48 arrives around midnight in Darwin. The retimed version gets into Darwin at 0430am. Not really a great time given that the flight is only 4+ hours. If you live in DRW, maybe but for connections onwards... not my choice.

When I was booking DCS runs SIN - SYD, this retimed flight always came up, sometimes about 1/2 price of SIN - SYD but looking at timings I had to say no.

I guess QF is struggling to fill the return flight. I was on QF47 twice last year (Mondays) and it had a solid loading.

Originally it was timed at 4.30am arrival to connect onto the early morning flights

It switched months out from 1 December to midnight arrival with Darwin airport QF club closing after last late flight HR of the night. Reopening at 5.30.
Checkin was firmly shut. For the duration
There are luggage lockers on the concourse which we utilised.
And slept upstairs for 3-4 hours on the couches
