I think QF management are stuck themselves. I reckon MEL-HKG-LHR was planned but the loadings in the past year do not justify. There are always empty seats on the route.

I feel QF has lost so much market share on the Kangaroo route to other asian/ middles eastern carriers they are going to find it difficult filling the A380.

My bet is BKK. Though Im hoping for HKG.
