[QUOTE=Globaliser;20567194]I also miss the late night departure ex-Australia.

I assume you are referring to the former QF29 which left MEL between 11pm and midnight?
With the QF EK alliance we now have in effect two late-night departures ex-Australia on QF flight numbers, with the MEL-DXB flight at 10:30pm and the MEL-KUL-DXB flight that leaves at 2:40am.

When these two late night departures ex-MEL begin to offer a premium economy cabin at a decent price, I might begin to think about it - although I would still not be keen to fly EK metal.

I think that a daytime departure ex Europe is far more civilised.
The downside is arriving in MEL too early to get a room, trying to stay awake to try to get over jetlag quicker and so on ... OMG o'clock and walking like a zombie as BD959 says.
