If 75% of traffic originates or terminated in Perth it doesn't build a strong case of MEL to LHR. Perhaps MEL will get another European destination.

I thought that too, must have been an opportunity for a quick win so they took it.

It's always great to see a new carrier coming to Australia. Hopefully they can make the trial work.

I don't know how it would go down with travellers but potentially less two seater tables and more of a communal bench would solve the seating issue

I'm real keen to see which destination JAL opt for
