Charter Flight: Adelaide to Shenzhen

[Justin L]

I noticed on the Adelaide Airport website (http://www.aal.com.au/) there will be a charter flight from Adelaide to Shenzhen in China on February 16 for $330 one-way including taxes.

Does anyone know what airline and/or aircraft will fly this flight?

China Southern A333.

Thanks!

I am a bit cuirous how you can find the price for each passenger. Anyway, seem the price is heaps attractive, where you will find CX direct to HKG from ADL single ride will be at least double of that!

The price is listed on ADL airport website.

I'd have thought that a carrier from China would be a little unsafe for you, Arthur?

I wish this schedule change can happen earlier or even immediately that I didn't need to suffer from sitting in a poor and dangerous B744 on SQ220 to Singapore.


More like Game, Set, Match, Championship! Can't see him getting out of this one.

Wow, I only knew about the dangerous QF 747's, now Singapore has them too! Looks to be contagious! :D

My guess its a special charter coming in, dropping off some tourists and would have been going back empty, so I guess selling a few seats cheap to off set the return journey is whats happening? Quite a common practice for one way charters.

Steve,

I believe it is a charter for Chinese New Year. As CNY is on the 14th, it will bring back passengers, So like you said, instead of going back empty, t hey are selling off seats.

Here are the times,

Shenzhen – Adelaide
CZ3037 SZX2300 – 0910+1ADL 333 15FEB10
CZ3038 ADL1010 – 1950SZX 333 16FEB10
