QF considering relaunching PER-SIN

[The Rok]

Maybe it is EK doing SIN-PER, with QF code-share with it.

That's possible

We stopped considering QFI for international out of Perth as they don't exist.

Above and beyond the large detour for EK metal on the way to DXB, I would say I hope not on general principles. And it would require BA AY KL UL MH and 9W to codeshare on the same EK flight. :mrgreen: Isn't commercial flying getting strange?:shock:

Don't think there is many 747 routes which can be replaced by a A330 anymore, maybe SYD-NRT which is only 3-4 days & SYD-HKG.

... SYD-NRT QF21/QF22 is currently 747 daily. not 3-4 weekly. The current timetable is overnight flights in both direction requiring 2 aircraft.

That would certainly be consistent withe Qantas approach of late.

My bad I thought it was a daily service but operated a mix of 747 & A333.

Someone mentioned PER-SIN-DXB... maybe with timings like this?
PER-SIN 2340-0500
SIN-DXB 0700-1010

DXB-SIN 1210-2340
SIN-PER 0120-0630

If they had enough A330's for another 14 hours, add in DXB-FRA-DXB.

Now that's just teasing.

OT but relate to tag flights and SYD-NRT was mentioned upthread where both 744s sit in Japan for 12 hours or so.

SYD-NRT-ICN ???

Aircraft likely to be used is a flying pig. Ie, I don't see this actually happening.

It's only one aircraft sitting at NRT during the day (QF21 arrive 0630, QF22 depart 2030, they pass each other in flight somewhere near Guam)
Would be nice to get to Korea on QF, but Tokyo-Seoul has excess capacity between JL, NH, OZ and KE and I think QF are quite happy with their SYD-ICN codeshare on OZ.

I think that any relaunch of PER-SIN, be it on 737s, as a tag flight, 4x weekly or whatever, would be a good thing.

I would speculate that they will all be daytime flights, with a PER departure mid-morning/lunch time, and a return in the evening. Maybe operated by 737s Monday to Friday, and A332s on the weekend (spares from PER-East coast runs which are replaced by 737s on weekends).

A PER-SIN-DXB flight would be a welcome addition, and even better if the plane continued to FRA/CDG/TXL. But I know, probably not going to happen.

What about ADL-PER-SIN?

Doesn't EK have issues with German slots? If QF were to have a 3rd aircraft into DXB, wouldn't they "ask" QF to send it to Germany?

You're quite right. The German government won't let EK operate to more than 4 German ports. Currently they fly to FRA, MUC, DUS and HAM. TXL/BER would be an obvious fifth destination and I have long thought that QF would be successful operating to Berlin with an EK codeshare.

Berlin is still a problem until the new airport opens, A 737 during the week and then swapped with an A330 on the weekends, which would replace the A330 flying east - west would be a good idea. They could almost get away without doing a Wednesday service, work is usually Monday to Friday and so Sunday/Monday would be heavy travel days, but I am sure the Friday night ex Singapore flight could sell out pretty fast, but then a good option to run the A330 on the weekends it would allow those workers who could take the more expensive 737 flight or wait a day for the A330 at a cheaper price.

Possible relaunch of QF PER SIN flights

Hi all,

Been no discussion about this here, I wonder what people think.

Discussion on airliners.net speculates that QF might use a 738 for the resumption of service.

I wonder if it is possible to put the new A330 J seat in a 738 alternating 1 by 1 layout?

A tag flight like that would be a great opportunity to visit the ADL F lounge - oh wait...

But at least it is an opportunity to travel to SIN on QF aircraft and earn SCs and points or use points for awards.

If both cities struggle to support a daily service each to SIN then either 3 x weekly services from each city to/from SIN as one option or an ADL-PER-SIN daily option.

Personally I think either option is better than a 737 or A320 on the PER-SIN route as you are still leaving ADL out in the cold.

ADL-PER-SIN would rely on people travelling on D stickers for the first leg, and replace a domestic service. At ADL end this probably is no big deal, as its the same terminal However, at the PER end would this be a problem?

Of course the other solution no-one is mentioning is a Q400 via BME

Why can't transit passengers be allowed to stay onboard? Reduces the transit time considerably.

Transit passengers aren't the issue. It's the domestic passengers that are the issue (D sticker passengers) - and the flight would need a considerable number of them travelling between ADL & PER to be successful, in a range of fare classes. As I said at the ADL end, having to go through international is probably not a big disincentive, but at the PER end it may be for the time being given the location of the international terminal.
