Route schedule from July 2020 onwards?
Hi, is there any way of finding out whether Qantas plans on resuming flights to HKG in July 2020? I know that HKG is closed for transit at the moment, just trying to see if QF has some sort of published route schedule. Thanks

Thanks! Mainly asking because there is award space at the moment on QF29 MEL-HKG early July, so wasn't sure whether QF was planning on resuming the service then. There is also award space wide open on QF79 MEL-HND in July, should we assume that these flights will be cancelled in due course then?

Looking at a couple of responses, I saw there was J class availability for a flight yesterday in June on Qantas' website, but this morning, there is no J availability at all, but economy only. Does this mean that flight is likely going to be cancelled?

QF hasn't been selling J on domestic services as the service level is reduced (no lounges, no meals, no drinks). Maybe the same now for international flights?

When Qantas announced their previous international cancellations, how much later was it before the flights themselves were cancelled in their systems?

So, I saw that notice on qantas.com, but neither of our Qantas international flights have been cancelled yet - I am seeing our itinerary on both Qantas.com and aa.com

I have a (was footie) trip booked MEL-DRW-MEL for the weekend of 13/14 June so have been watching carefully hoping for a cancellation (although a voucher would be bad either given this was booked during the DSC and is in J).
A couple of weeks ago all the J was zeroed out on EF which was also reflected on QF.com. Last week the flight zeroed out and the only QF flight available was via BNE. Today - all back to normal (except for the breathless J "Price nearly gone" on QF.com despite EF show x8 and x9 across all J booking classes!!)

Lunch-time I received an email from Qantas stating they were making changes to my booking, 40mins later an email notifying me of the cancellation/credit voucher (interesting valid only until Dec 2020 not Dec 2021 as advised earlier this week).
Called the Premium Line and within 4 mins had the voucher changed to refund.

Following yesterday's announcement, this morning I checked EF and QF.com today for my June flights. EF should both flights as zeroed-out and they weren't available for sale on QF.com. MMB still had the bookings however my seat assignment had disappeared and the option to choose the seat was not available.

I received an email saying one of my June flight times had to be changed. Turns out my three June booking were all cancelled. Importantly, manage my booking doesn't work, neither can I request a refund. => Another three paypal disputes it is.

Melbourne-based law firm Slater and Gordon is sizing up class action lawsuits against airlines, tour companies, cruise operators and travel agencies over their refusal to provide travellers with refunds for cancelled trips.
Qantas, Jetstar, Flight Centre and Webjet are among the businesses called out by the firm for pushing travel credits or vouchers instead of a full refund.
Also in Slater and Gordon's cross-hairs is the practice of airlines selling seats on international flights from Australia that are highly unlikely to depart.

Well, my June 26 outbound to MEL finally cancelled and was able to get AA to process the refund. Now to see if it really takes 2 weeks to happen as I got warned by the agent.
