Qantas boss to outline big international shake-up

[Laurent Sanhard]

totally agree with your above comment BradR , in my opinion Qantas has been too slow off the mark and had too many problems adapting to the changing / challenging market, Virgin Australia may have a new logo in a couple of years , Virgin the "new" spirit of Australia .......................

[Andrew M]

As much as Virgin Australia has a buzz about it, it is still not making money!

[Greg Wood]

Virgin has consumer confidence & the airline is moving forward, Qantas is in turmoil & its long term plans created so much controversity it requires a re-think! Its not to late......

intersting article in the SMH today , http://www.smh.com.au/business/bumpy...819-1j28m.html

basically confirming that this bold move is make or break for Qantas and how setting up a new airline in Asia has its local challenges

Some interesting news found on the QF Site, when looking for flight numbers from SYD-BKK, i found the following:


Some interesting Codeshares


Code Share with Hong Kong Airlines


a VERY interesting Codeshare with Emirates


Proof that SYD-BKK-SYD will be QFA023/QFA024

Does anyone have any further information??

John

[Ash W]

Yep and QF31/32 is now QF1/2. Though I do wonder why when I just did the searche you did there is no sign of QF23/24 at all, the only flights showing for me are QF301/302? Maybe the data is not ready to go live yet and you caught it at the right moment.

[John Arena]

Right place, right time, does anyone have anything on the codeshares, interesting seeing the Emirates stuff up there

John

[Jim Liu]

SYD BKK is changing to QF023/024, already reflected on BA's system.

QF does not codeshare with Emirates nor Hong Kong Airlines, those flights are simply interline connection, which is common for most airline's booking engine.
