IIRC there are no daily Qantas flights from anywhere in Oz to Singapore that depart after 5.00pm - none from anywhere! Not Syd, Mel, Perth, Adelaide, Darwin, Bne or Cairns!
If you search this yourselves you will find that the ONLY flights that depart after 5.00pm anywhere in the country is from Syd - only on a Thursday - Ha!
There is an Australian Airlines flight from Cairns also at 6.40pm - also only on a Thurs.
Here is an example of the inflexibility of the Qantas scheduling
Look at the Codeshared Qantas flight from Syd to Bahrain - via Singapore.
The flight leaves Singapore for Bahrain about 5.45am but the latest flight into Singapore (from anywhere in Oz) is about 10.30pm. Now here is where the real Qantas gauging comes in. Qantas Code share this route with Gulf Air - but Qantas only Code Share the Sin-Bahrain, Bahrain-Athens, Bahrain-Dubai and Bahrain-Beirut routes. You guessed it; Qantas do not codeshare the Syd-Sin flight even though Gulf Air also fly daily from Syd-Sin and it departs at........(drum roll) 9.45pm and arrives Sin 4.15 am. This means that you have to fly up earlier the previous day on a Qantas flight and then overnight in Singapore if you want to book it as a QF number
Is there not at least 1 daily flight to Sin from anywhere in the country that could be filled by passengers after 5.00pm?
