They’re running a Qantas wine voucher promo for Paris at the moment. I wonder if loads aren’t good…?

There is also seats to SCL right up until the end of May

It’s very seasonal, goes from best to worst over the year.

1000 business class seats must be a very large share of the business class cabin each flight given they don't go every day.

I think maybe FCO should go yearly and CDG seasonal? I've heard they are looking at that.

I wonder if its because Paris isn't as high on travellers list these days. I know personally I have little desire to visit - well i wouldn't mind a croissant or two there, but I'd rather go to other parts of France.

Agree. In the past 2 years I've done Perth to London, Rome and Paris, and only the Paris flight was half-full, the other 2 were chockers. Given the stronger cultural ties between Italy and Australia compared to France I'd have thought it makes more sense for year-round flights to FCO.

I would agree with you. As someone who grew up in the UK and spent many family holidays in the South of France, I don't like Paris (or Northern France) all that much.

If faced with the choice between Rome and Paris, I'd go for Rome every time. As I get older, I find I much prefer Italy to France. But, YMMV.

Once a year?

I didn’t look too hard but I couldn’t see any J CR seats for next year (but I was looking during peak time).

OT: Curiously, I did stumble across 2x EK J CRs late next year - contrary to the theme in the EK awards (gone MIA) thread…

I didn’t look too hard but I couldn’t see any J CR seats for next year (but I was looking during his he peak time).

The QF bulk release is Feb and March. There were a few out of PER and SYD, none out of MEL (at least not forcing a multicity connection).

I flew to CDG earlier this year, got the TGV immediately to Lille. No need to stop in Paris with the train connections.
I actually think this might be a good option to connect to Eurostar to get to London.

might need to track this down... There is the annual Champagne promo...

It's lovely at Christmas time.

I was pondering something similar.

I have no desperate need to visit Paris again. I worked for a French company, so plenty of visits under my belt plus holiday visits. But using it as a stepping stone to elsewhere is something to consider.

Besides the south of France - which is generally nice.
