I usually end up going through security at midnight and waiting in departure. always find the flights over full. and lately have been the new aircrafts. i can never work out why qf doesn't fly mel-bkk as i have never been on an empty tg flight yet.
Thanks for the update. Missing red eye flights are also a concern of mine. Touch wood I never have to answer the scenario should I over sleep. :-)
If QF had BKK as a transit as part of their kangaroo route, I would prefer it over SIN. With BA pulling out of the SIN-MEL sector, I am more willing to take a domestic flight to SYD to be able to stop over in BKK.
