      China's economy is not in a good shape at the moment. They need passengers flowing through their airports.

      Singapore, Cathay, JAL, and ANA needs some competition at the moment.

    Just a note there's many dates out of sydney on qantas in may and june for $950 return non-stop. But china southern is a good option if you're happy to travel an extra 12-20 hours for a saving of $300-400.

    • Vevku10 on 07/01/2024 - 18:09

      Only fly qantas if you are prepared your flight getting delayed/cancelled for god knows what the reason is. Take a look at https://www.flightradar24.com/data/flights/qf59 which is SYD-HND, and count the number of green vs orange + red.

      • koalabargains on 07/01/2024 - 20:00

          just flew back from nz with Qantas, oh the toilets don't work, but they should be fine once we are up in the air…

        Yep. Flew Brisbane - Hong Kong via Sydney. 3 out of 4 of the flights were delayed. Only one counter was staffed in Sydney, made me missed the flight to Brisbane and had to wait 3 hours. I was yelled at by 3 Qantas staff at once and other passengers were checking on me to make sure I was ok. Tried to ask for names so I can complain online, apparently they are not required to give me even their first name

        Brisbane to Melbourne domestic was just as bad. Flight was cancelled and made me change to a flight that had a stop over in Sydney…

          I never bother with qantas for connections or time-sensitive trips. For example when transiting through LAX, you couldn't pay me to take QF11, American Airlines is a lot lot more reliable but you miss out on the A380.

      • AsukaST on 08/01/2024 - 02:33

        The reasons are known to everyone.

        1. HND is the busiest domestic airport in Japan with a busy intl terminal nearby
        2. New Year period is the busiest peak season in Japan, like our Christmas, everyone is going home or traveling overseas for holiday.
        3. HND has lost its C runway due to the 2 Jan crash, the worst timing it could have
        4. Extra non-scheduled military flights departs from HND to send support to survivors of the 1 Jan earthquake in Ishikawa. Many areas are still in isolation with trucks and ships cannot approach, due to landslides damaging all roads and the seabed has risen for 4 meters at the port.

        In combination of the above, around 200 flights are cancelled everyday + almost every flight is delayed in HND at the moment.

      • AnyFurtherDiscount on 08/01/2024 - 10:10

        Nah I dont fly QF again, unless I dont have a choice.

    • teabogan on 07/01/2024 - 23:23

      Qantas seems worth that extra money, saving $400 for 20 hours of your time, when your fundamentally break it down really isn't worth it when you are travelling.

        Every plane landed at Queenstown except Qantas, their pilots are crap, tried to land twice, couldn't do it. I checked the Queenstown Airport website, the Virgin plane landed successfully 20mins later, so the crosswind suddenly stopped for Virgin? I think it was a crappy pilot useless. Made me travel 7 hours on a bus from Christchurch.

              Also our flights here are really overpriced due to lack of competition. This should be the norm overseas but you see it as low price. Says thanks to Qantas and Government aiding that not giving more airlines to fly here

                Disagree.

                Most people don't even know OZB. Among those who know, probably less than 10% of them visit the site frequently.
                Niche market cannot represents the whole picture.

                International air ticket is an luxury product. Which amplify my point of low air ticket price attracts low quality passengers.
                Low quality passengers often cannot afford premium price, and high quality passengers are often more loyal with a brand and less price sensitive.
                This is different from a 50 cents Big Mac deal where almost everyone is happy to take advantage of.

        And he still found a few left behind in their seats.

      This is an unpopular but valid opinion. As some one who travels a lot, and was on 4 china southern flights 2 weeks ago, The plane, food and flights were great, but the clientele on the flight spoiled it with pushing, reclining of chairs as soon as they sit down, standing up 1 second after the plane lands and general lack of commonsense…. it is all true. That said id still fly with them as the service was great. you just cant pick the clientele.

        Thanks. This is something only frequent traveler would notice.
        I knew my comment would attract neg votes, as I knew most people are either part of them, or too arrogant to face the truth.

        I travel a lot, both pre- and post-covid, and I have noticed the travel experience have get worse significantly.
        I stop traveling in Economy class completely post covid.
        While it was relatively easy to find a 66%-75% full flight pre-covid, it is always 100% full nowadays, regardless of off-peak or not.
        Service standard has also dropped, perhaps because of the lack of manpower, or because the flight is 100% full, or all the cost cutting measures
        Which makes an EY class journey very uncomfortable for all reasons, as well as safety concerns that I mentioned.

        The only solution is to pay more and avoid the crowd.
        From my experience, depends on airline of course, even when EY class is 100% full, PEY class can still be 50%-66% full, which I often get an empty seat next to me.
        I get better service, more space, more educated passengers around me, better sleep, less disruption, and most importantly, less safety risk.
        J class would even be sweeter for a long haul flight to EU, or on a day when I want to reward myself.

        The premium price definitely worth it.

        no elderly yelling into their phone upon landing?

        True. Can't pick the passenger. They will do the same if they fly other premium airlines.

      Hello Qantas rep

      If you fly business class, then you don't need to worry about rowdy humans.
      If you fly first class, all you have to is to select the "safe" airlines.
      If you fly your private jet, who cares!

    Would 1.5h between international flights be cutting it fine?

      If it's one ticket like these deals, if you do miss the connection, you should be able to put on the next flight. Might be good to preselect a wider gap, but at least having a one airline booking, you should be covered if delayed and miss flight.

      I so often see people waiting at exits after flight to assist connecting travellers.

      Depends but I'd rather not have the stress - if you are going throught the same airline and checked in all the way through should get some assistance from staff.

      I recently did Melbourne-Cairns-Tokyo. Getting through Cairns took forever. Even though I was on the same airline you had to collect your own luggage from domestic and go from domestic to international yourself (why Virgin can't take your bags across I have no idea) . Then the international security took forever because rain had knocked out all of the xray machines except one. We had a three hour gap and only just made the flight. If you're only going with carry on that would be better.
