With both PR and 5J now operating services to Sydney, It makes you wonder if QF will still operate their own services to Manila...

just had a look at the price of the tix $143 return!!!!!! Cheaper than flying to Newcastle!!!!

Nothing against Newcastle

436 passengers in an A330, would want to be cheap.

why show me a route that the Qantas group has come off because of competition.

PER-SIN:

Qantas International chief executive Simon Hickey said pulling out of Perth was ''disappointing'' but that was the reality of the market, where there was tough competition from low-cost carrier Scoot.

Qantas will still operate to Manila. It will allow them to recover some of the ferry cost when they send aircraft for maintenance...

ADL - SIN too, but they'll say it was replaced with a code shared ADL - DXB for people going to Europe (but as if any sane person wants to fly economy in an Emirates 777) and Jetstar going to Denpasar for the leisure market (but as if any sane person wants to endure a flight of that length in a Jetstar A320, or go to Bali).
