LAX-SYD & SYD-LHR QF Update
Although QF is pretty heavy LAX to SYD & MEL, it's hugely dependent upon day of week. Departing LAX Fri/Sat almost 100% booked, but Mon/Tues. very light. My boss flew LAX-SYD June 19 in J and almost full. But previous Tues. there were 44 open seats in J.
Unfortunately, look for QF J/D fare increases once new seats are all in. That's what's happening on SYD-LHR runs. QF was running less than 70% full in J vs BA nearly 100% full 'cause BA had beds. Now, not 1 QF seat available in D when I need it July 17/18/19, but BA has seats! QF was priced about 20% under BA in mkt, but they've just completed beds on 100% of AUS to LHR fleet, and BKK QF mgr said fares will go up as soon as they can finish loading. Certainly noticed WAY fewer RTW D seats now on QF BKK-LHR.
