I hope QF use a spare A330 for BNE-KUL, they'd be the only ones offering the route non-stop.... 

This is a great way to try out the 717 for a very cheap price for Brisbane based flyers... The golden triangle fares are generally cheaper than the regional qld 717 flights.....I am more intrigued on which flights will be shifted to the 717... 

From an operational view it made sense as at least several times a month either EK 434 or EK 418 was late and it would result in the flow on effects onto EK 449 or EK 407 to be late.....With EK 418/9 is it going to mean BKK/SYD will get extra seats as they don't need the crew rest configured 380,...

It all depends on the timings... I reckon the PER flight will be an am arrival into London... On the way would be ok as you depart late afternoon/evening for arrival first thing... It's really dependent what is the arrival time back.. If it's night arrival past 6pm into Perth then you have to do ...

The layer part I am talking about is the A380...
