Western Sydney Airport (WSI) Discussion

Interesting its a day flight to WSI and night flight from WSI.

Presumably to take advantage of no curfew and a different offering to SYD.

Was always going to be that schedule. Mirrors flights that have operated out of MEL and BNE for years. Provides robust connections to all sort of places with 0505 arrival.

With a new flight from November onwards, it means potentially wide open J awards tomorrow, potentially including all peak seasons including Christmas and New Year.

Time to redeem some awards!

With regards to all the naysayers talking about “well it’s just a commitment, the airlines haven’t confirmed they’ll fly from WSI”, look at what’s popped up on the SQ desktop website. Special launch fares coming soon?

The link leads to a 404 error for now but it looks like it’s ready to go live soon.

Looks like booking was originally supposed to have opened even before 18 March?

Only a matter of time before the low costs jump in.

Book SQ award flight first, then book domestic flight at later date....

Depends. Other than for some possible startup costs, are the ongoing costs any cheaper than SYD. Remember this has been built as a 2nd full service airport not a low cost operation.

QZ from DPS to SYD a more likely candidate. Indonesia still has capacity on their side of the bilateral (even though they are disadvantaged against the Australian O&D.

With the remote stands on both sides of the terminal QZ could easily save money on aerobridge gate usage.

I think JQ will fly DPS, and will be far more popular than QZ.

VJ could be another candidate due to WSI's closeness to Cabramatta.
