QF9 / QF10 Perth

[Quickstatus]

A search will find many ‘whistleblower’ reports about the 787.

Im a big cagey about the 787 along the remote Southern ocean routes to South Africa or South America

Using an EK slot perhaps?

I really do try to avoid Sydney domestic to international transfer at all costs but you’re right it is an option …

QF3xx flight numbers are charters though, not regularly scheduled services for paying passengers.

After I saw the post about this extra flight, I checked the QF website and I saw this flight as available to book.

Not all, e.g. Dili (QF351/352)?

Seems I'm confused then.
QF6xx are charters then.
Apologies.

No, you were correct. QF3XX are charters and QF351/QF352 to Dili is funded by East Timor/Aus government so it is kind of like a charter. QF6xx_ are repositioning flights.

Post in thread 'QantasLink to fly to Christmas & Cocos (Keeling) Islands'

Most QFi flights starting wtih 3 are government contracts.

This is no longer true. QFi uses 3xx flight numbers on QantasLink operated flights.

The Palau route uses QF165/166, Norfolk Island uses QF183, QF184, QF179, QF180 and they are all gov contract flights (operated by a 737) meanwhile QF357/QF358 to/from HIR, QF359/360 to/from NOU, QF355/QF356 to/from WLG (Saturdays only) are all E190 flights not under contract operated by QantasLink.

QF361, QF362, QF363 and QF364 the XCH/CCK flight numbers just fir into the next free block after QF360 from NOU.
