I don't think MEL-DRW is 3.75 hours. When I flew it on JQ it was closer to 5 hours. I believe, however its a wind thing.

Jetstreams.

Not sure which airline you're talking about?

DJ blocks are:

BNE/DRW 3hr45min
MEL/DRW 3hr55min

DRW/BNE 4hr10min
DRW/MEL 4hr35min

Qantas schedules seem to have longer flight times than some others. JQ is 15 mins shorter on CNS-BNE than QF.


All times are GMT +10. The time now is 06:29 PM.
