Does JQ 787 have the range
Maybe we could get direct flights to Athens.
I just think that without MEL leg, 70% will not sustain daily flights PER-LHR. Maybe as you say 3 or 4 days a week.
The elephant in the room is travel insurance.
Australia has reciprocal medicare with the UK. In terms of not getting hit with a massive, medical bill if you get Covid while travelling, UK is the only viable option.
This is an important point, but as far as I can tell, there is no problem getting travel insurance that will cover medical bills if you get sick due to COVID while travelling, unless you travel against the advice of the Australian government. At least that is my reading of the Allianz policy. I realise that right now almost any overseas travel would be against the advice of the Australian government, but I assume that will change once the borders reopen? (BTW, just to clarify that there are exclusions related to COVID wrt to other coverage - e.g. having to cancel your trip before you depart).
Additionally, when it comes to reciprocal healthcare arrangements, the UK isn't the only option:

Will be interesting to see if insurance companies distinguish between 'do not travel' on safety grounds as opposed to covid grounds... so for example Vietnam might be perfectly ok safety wise, but not covid wise. Will you be covered if you're hit by a bus in Vietnam despite not being covered for covid?
Interesting question, although I'm not sure it makes much difference in reality (at least to me). I would always want to make sure insurance covers the risks that are most likely to arise, so if medical cover for COVID isn't covered, that would be a deal breaker really.
FWIW though, I think it's fair to assume that any insurer can exclude claims related to any travel to a destination where there is a "do not travel" warning in place. I think that was the case even pre-COVID. Perhaps you could argue that your claim should be honoured if it is unrelated to the reason for the "do not travel" warning, but I wouldn't like to find myself in that situation with perhaps 10s of thousands of $ at stake.
And my prediction is that in a few months' time, Covid will be treated just like any other medical condition.Missed your flight because you're in hospital on a ventilator in the USA (which would cost a quid or two), and there's no reimbursement.
No.Does JQ 787 have the range?
All a long, long, time ago now. I flew the last QF Athens flight, as an FO on the Classic.
....or perhaps "Bonza" were considering the route and QF are making a pre-emptive announcement.Are QF planning to run this longer with their announcement today?
“To make getting to the NT more accessible for all, QantasLink will soon operate three weekly return services from Darwin to Townsville, commencing on January 31 and Darwin to Cairns, on March 29.”

Folks,
If one got SYD-LHR via DAR RT booking and on return leg decided not to continue to SYD and left in Darwin - is it possible scenario at all? if not why?

Can someone explain why we're still talking about Quarantine in 2022 with the vaccines, treatments and protection available? What risk is there to the Western Australian community of someone transiting at PER? Who does it harm? Whilst WA residents may be supported these measures, you do have to worry about those who work and make a living at PER, and all the businesses with ties to T&T. How much longer can hotels in Perth remain shuttered?Qantas today says that the reinstatement of flights to London via Perth (instead of Darwin) from late March is now "under review" in light of yesterday's announcement that WA will delay reopening its border.
Via both PER/DRW has a very long second leg out of the east, which I don't particularly look forward to (SYD-DRW-LHR 2/3/22). But at the present time, not transiting in Asia gives a little more confidence that the flights will operate. We used to regularly transit in HKG (with AY/CX), but that is off our list in the foreseeable.For flyers from the east coast I never quite understood the appeal of Perth as a stopover, unless you wanted to avoid transiting another country? DRW actually seems favourable to PER in terms of time/distance but the schedule is not much fun - QF1 lands at LHR around 4:30am (and Qantas no longer provides arrivals lounge or chauffeur drive).
I’d still choose SIN or DXB if I had the option. Going via PER doesn’t really save you any time… the route via SIN or even Japan is actually a shorter distance.
