Year 2000 Qantas flights

[azuresky]

Hi,

I'm trying to trace my flight history and Qantas is one of the trickiest to find timetables for. Does anyone have timetable that was valid in Apr 2000? I found Qantim app for Windows using Wayback Machine, but it only has a version that is valid from Jul 2000.

I flew these flights and it would be really nice to know the equipment/departure time/arrival time:

Sat Apr 1st 2000 SIN-BNE QF52
Tue Apr 11th 2000 SYD-SIN QF5
Tue Apr 11th 2000 SIN-FRA QF5

Thanks in advance!

It should be the same for April 2000 given it's also within the Northern Summer season?

In an old thread dajop and serfty seemed to find a difference in Mar 2000 and Jul 2000 schedules. Or was that something that doesn't apply to my case?

but I don't remember getting First class for the price of business

I used to book economy seats and sit in Dreamtime ... still economy serve (whichthese days come close to resembling what is offered for business in any case). Also, being international, no charge for booze ...

Interesting, a different timetable to the one I have (Mar 2000) it shows YYZ services 4 days a week and YVR 3 days a week, the one you have the frequencies are swapped.

The one I scanned is dated July 1st 2000 ...

The Northern Summer season typically runs from late March to late October:

@serfty has located some historic timetables in his collection of aviation memorabilia in the past.

I'll have a look; can't guarantee the exact information. It won't be until later this week before I have an opportunity since I am currently not in the same location as my timetable booklets.

Looking at timetables dated July 1999 and July 2000:

Flight		1999			2000
QF52: SIN-BNE	-	-	-	Mo, We, Sa	19:40-0510+1	763
QF5: SYD-SIN	Tu, Th, Sa, Su	15:40-21:35	744	Tu, Th, Sa, Su	16:40-21:35	744
QF5: SIN-FRA	Tu, Th, Sa, Su	22:50-0535+1	744	Tu, Th, Sa, Su	22:50-0535+1	744

Note that QF5 departed SYD 15:40 until 26th August 2000 as daylight savings started early that year due to the Olympic Games.

Excellent, thanks! Looks like QF5 was pretty stable 1999-2000 and since QF52 service started in 2000, schedule and equipment were most likely the same in Apr and Jul.

Now I'll continue trying to find Australian Airlines timetable for Jul 1988 to solve my SYD-BNE-CNS flight mystery. I guess Qantas forum is not the place for that since it can't have been a Qantas route back then. Anyone have any pointers?
