Qantas fly Brisbane to Manila once weekly.

The outbound service departs Brisbane on Thursdays (QF 19 SYD-BNE-MNL). The inbound service arrives into Brisbane every Tuesday (QF 20 MNL-BNE-SYD).

It's possible to fly BNE-SYD-BNE on QF19/20; although QF 20 BNE-SYD has a nasty departure time of 5.05am (every Tuesday).

During the peak season Manila services were operated by 747-300s. Qantas has experienced a decrease in the number of PAX flying the route, so has reverted to a 767-300. I'm sure Qantas would like to upgrade some services to 747-300s during the peak season, but IIRC, severe capacity restrictions placed upon Qantas.

Cheers
