Excellent news and arriving in at around 8.30 am is a sensible time for onward journeys.

I see USA mainland gets a mention as a potential Jetstar destination.  Any ideas on where that US mainland destination will be ?  Also, from which Australian city will any such flight to the U.S. mainland depart ? Surely not Sydney ????

Agree gsx.  The Qantas options ex Brisbane to the U.S. are sadly second class.  Don't hold your breath on that direct Brisbane to Chicago service ever getting off the ground any time soon, if at all.

Improvements to Inflight Catering.Not before time.Travelled to Melbourne back in late May.What a cheap and nasty mess the food was.For what is supposed to be a full service airline, this was absolutley the pits.Finger food that just all fell apart and not a serviette in sight at all to clean ap.W...

Good news.  Bring on the Brisbane - Chicago service ASAP and as I have stated before, with an early arrival into Chicago at around 7 - 9.00 am.  Not in the mid to late afternoon time frame.
