There is no word yet as to when ZNI will be ferried from LAX to JFK. Anyone know??

[James Smith]

No sign on FlightAware as yet of VH-ZNI or QF6027 flying from LAX to JFK. Not sure if QF6027 will be the flight number used. If not? I'm keeping my eye on QANTAS Source as well.

To depart JFK at 21:00 on Friday local time (12 noon Saturday, Sydney time) with a 5 hour flight from LAX means that with a 2 hour turnaround ZNI needs to leave LAX in the next 13 hours.

QF7879 is the flight number to SYD.

James you might want to use Flightradar24 as well

It seems to be better for overseas flights

[James Smith]

Thanks Greg. Yes, I have been using both but only Flightradar currently recognises VH-ZNI. I didn't want to miss the flight from LAX to JFK if QANTAS used another flight number than QF6027 or QF7879.

VH-ZNI is currently positioning LAX to JFK as QF6027 - about 25% of the way across the USA.

VH-ZNI QFA6027 just arr JFK

[James Smith]

ZNI has just landed in JFK with 3 hours until she departs as QF7879.
