Perhaps redeploying these aircraft, Perth to Phuket has just been announced using B738 operated by Pac Blue.
6.5 hours on a B738, for $399 one way? Not sure I'd take that myself...

Perth-Phuket is now for sale on the Pacific Blue website with one way fares at $299 on sale (slightly less on the return).
Interestingly, unless there are more flights to be added, it appears that the aircraft stays close to 24hrs in HKT before returning to PER. Given they have excess aircraft capacity, maybe this works better in terms of minimising crew layover costs. For example: PER-HKT 24 NOV 1035-1520 DJ4149 HKT-PER 25 NOV 1405-2145 DJ4148 Flights listed as operated by Virgin Blue (may well be the 737-700 they are currently repainting into PB colours?) |

JQ seem to do fine on their Singapore flights via Darwin which are single aisle A320's, not sure why it'd be any different on a 738?

Enough people fly them on SYD-DPS that they are adding a 3rd weekly flight so there are enough people willing to fly a 738 for 6 hours!
I don't think this is the end of HKT flights.... remember they have also got rights to fly DPS-HKT too and currently the 738's sit on the ground for a while in DPS... so stay tuned me thinks... |

Singapore to Darwin is a 4hr sector, not 6.5. I've done the MEL>DRW>SIN with Jetstar and probably won't do it again to be honest, even with the stop over in Darwin.
