Ive got a business reward on QF777 (MEL-PER) on 10 June which has the same departure time (5mins diff) from MEL as QF9.............

Assuming the schedule stays the same. Pre-covid QF9 left about an later if i remember correctly?

Oooh that's interesting. I'm flying on QF 9 from Mel -LHR on 24th May. I just got an email moments ago from Qantas saying there had been an itinerary change and my flight now left at 3.15pm not 2.30pm. I guess that means I'm going via Perth now. Is it marginally shorter to go via Perth or same/same?

Should be a bit shorter

Fantastic news. Shorter trip time and improved transit lounge experience.

And no offloaded baggage, hopefully...

Brilliant. I have a trip to MEL coming up in the next couple of weeks and hopefully I can get it on the 78 if QF10 is back in town.

Now just wait for Mark to close the border

 

[gourmet333]

Don't even!

Now just wait for Mark to close the border

Probably after he gets back from Rome.

Hopefully the T3 security works will be complete by then......it was a bit of a construction zone last time i went through..

I dont know if this will make a larger international airside area?

Should be a bit shorter

And your bags should arrive with you

Covid cases yesterday were huge. My maths isn't great but I reckon, on a per capita basis, they are higher than NSW ever was.

I'm really pleased. I looove QF9/10 MEL-PER-LHR in J in a 787.
Any thoughts on whether Qantas will/won't bring back cars to/from the airport for J?

Probably not. As AFF reported a little while back, Qantas (and other carriers) are having no problems filling J at the moment, so there's no incentive to improve the offering.

I just booked on the final QF9 for a domestic work trip to Darwin.

Hope there'll be a water cannon salute...

QF1 will keep going through DRW for a few weeks but you can’t book on that.

I’m mainly doing it for the Flounge. I’ve never been to the MEL one. I did the J lounge a few years ago before I was WP.

I always though this might happen for my trip - so I'll have DRW on the way out (May 20) and return via PER (Jun 5). Just hope my bags (flying in Y+) will make it to LHR on the way out
