anndrew carter - maate - check on: there v their v they're
they don't want the A388'S the secret was reveled the running cost of maintaining them was more then there B744's and there fuel efficiency is higher also the Amercia's routes are struggling to keep up pax loading flying half or sometimes quarter full from KJFK/KDFW/YSSY KLAX/KDFW/KJFK also renewing there fleet the love making money but if you look at there real profits this comes from inside the board of directors of Qantas and there un named financial share holders who keep the airline up and running. Not so much the fare paying passengers even there domestic market is down
Please punctuate and spell correctly. It's difficult to know what you're saying.
Qantas operates A388 to KDFW and KLAX. They operate B744 from KLAX to KJFX. A388 Operate out of YMML and YSSY to KLAX. B744 operate out of YMML, YSSY, and YBBN to KLAX. Qantas doesn't operate from KDFW to KJFK, you'd need to change to American for that leg.
Matt, I wish you would use the IATA standard 3-letter city-airport codes that most of us understand.
Hopefully they'll go for Boeing instead. More expensive, but as Sybil Fawlty told Basil; you get what you pay for. Every time I get on an Airbus I find them flashy-looking but cheap in terms of build quality. Meanwhile, a 20-year-old Boeing plane is usually a LOT more comfortable and almost certainly more reliable. End of story.
