QFi's abandonment of PER enters a new phase this weekend with the last PER-HKG service now in flight and one of the daily PER-SIN rotations disappearing on Sunday.
As a frequent traveller on the PER-HKG and PER-SIN QFi routes, I will miss QF67/68/71/72.
With the withdrawal of these services and the PER-NRT and PER-Indonesia services previously, PER is now down to a single daily QFi service (QF77/78 PER-SIN). It will be interesting to guess when this remaining QFi service will be 'enhanced' to the orange cancer, particularly now the QF/3K codeshare agreement has been approved.
With QFi reducing PER-Asia seats by almost 60%, it would be nice if QF would stop sending emails telling me how they have actually increased seats to Asia (which may be true if I want to fly via SYD, more than doubling my total trip time to anywhere in Asia).
OT - scheduled A330 services between PER-BNE (QF650/597) will also end this weekend, replaced by a fleet of very old 767 aircraft that were not suitable for PER-SYD/MEL services. QStreaming, along with very old programming seen months ago on other QF aircraft, is no replacement for the A332 in seat entertainment offered previously.
