Add me to the late night departure for Europe. QF29 no longer heading to lhr and thus being retimed is a real loss for me.
Our last qf29 had an aborted takeoff and took 2hrs to fix, we subsequently left after midnight. If we'd been in Syd we would have been stuck overnight and lost a whole day of our trip to Europe.
Late departure allows for a full day of work, and an afternoon arrival into Europe, both of which appeal to me.
Sorry JohnK but Sydney's curfew is a joke - the new aircraft are so much quieter than the 60s/70s jets it's not even close, and should be allowed to come and go overnight. LHR is an equal joke on this issue. As is their lack of a third runway (at least Syd has that!).
