Obviously will be limited to ER's only. Good for Brissie spotters, and of course DFW, as they will be frequently visited by Wunala.

Will keep everyone posted...

I still think it's going ahead though - fingers crossed!
Looks like they can't make up their mind

How profitable have the SFO services been? I went on it when it just started(about 1 week after it recommenced), and it was full as.. But thats been a couple of years now. I really hope it doesn't get discontinued, but gets downgraded. I wouldn't want to go on one of those UA's just to get there non stop!

At first they were saying on a.net that it was 3x per week, now 5x. Agree with James - They definately can't make up their minds. One of the latest posts indicate an announcement this afternoon australian time.

Isn't SFO planned for JQ (along with YVR) once they get their 787s?

Flights can now be booked on the Qantas website - Looking approx $1767 return per person on the QF7/8 rotation.(dates i ran were 16/MAY, 23/MAY).

Not sure if the SFO flights are going to go, as they show as one of the routings to DFW on the dates i put in??

It's official!

*The existing SYD-SFO-SYD will be cut from May 2011.

*New 4x weekly SYD-DFW-BNE-SYD to start in May 2011.

*From June 2011 JFK services will be increased to daily.

Thanks

wonder if the BNE stop on the way back is due to distances DFW-Aussie east coast?
