Qantas to do six return flights to Vancouver in January

I was referring to the B788s...

Not a good 787-8 route.

-9 however...

and there would be no benefit in running the old jumbo further east. The JFK service only works (if indeed it does) because it collects pax from 3 Aus flights. Else every time someone gets off at the first stop, there's an empty seat.

I've just returned from Vancouver this morning. The crew on the Air Canada flight told me they go back to Vancouver tomorrow morning. That's a little over 25 hours down time, but it's probably much less than that, since the 25-26 hours are the time the aircraft touches down in SYD today to when their aircraft take off tomorrow.

Canada also has much less stringent fatigue laws as well.

QF has announced seasonal SYD-YVR flights for short periods in both Northern Summer and Northern Winter 2015. Refurbed 744s to operate.

In addition, some changes to the HNL schedule including one additional weekly peak period frequency around the end of NS15.
