NS06 schedules will also see QF31 to become a daytime departure (1655hrs) ex SYD as the QF29 will offer the evening departure ex Oz.

Grrrrr.
I can't say that often enough. The late departure ex-SYD was great for all sorts of things, best of all a farewell dinner with friends between WLG-SYD and SYD-LHR.
This will also now put an end to my middle-of-the-night visits to the F lounge in SIN, I suppose.

Very happy to see F on the HKG-MEL sector and happy that QF are not dropping another flight and turning QF into even more of a SYD centric airline.
HKG is also my preferred stop over point.

I find it a little strange that the new QF 29 & 30 will not really connect in HKG to any of the flights in HKG from PER, SYD & BNE except the QF 188 HKG-SYD which is of little use as QF 32 takes care of LHR-SYD traffic at this time.
I would have though some alignment with feeder flights from the smaller cities would have made the loads more viable.
Of course if you are stopping in HKG the options become greater from all Australian ports.

With QF88 now gone there is no evening departure from HKG to MEL - the replacement from LHR QF30 departs 9am daily.
This means that travellers from China or wanting evening departure will not meet this flight and be forced to go via SYD on QF128 - good business for CX who still have there evenings departures (although one is via ADL).
