Hi all.
Im on this flight in 12 days time. Does anybody have any experience of this flight and the possibility to leave the flight at Melbourne and not carry on to Adelaide.
Ive read so many reports about this, the ghost flight from Melbourne to Adelaide with about 30 people on a 777-300 as everyone gets off in Melbourne and doesnt reboard, also people saying that no you cant enter Oz in Melbourne as they’re expecting you in Adelaide.
I understand that the only reason Qatar have this flight (they have a direct service to Adelaide too) is that Qatar want an extra entry into Melbourne but the arrangement between Australia and Qatar prevents more than 1 flight per day.
Im leaving London on the 15th January and am inclined to just leave the airport in Melbourne (I will have hand baggage only). Whats the worst that can happen I wonder?
Does anybody have experience of this flight and leaving to in Melbourne?
I snagged this flight last January – 90000 avios and about £240 in Qsuite all the way- which Im quite pleased about). A seamless exit at Melbourne would seal the deal!
Id really appreciate any feedback from this most excellent forum of super experienced flyers.
Thanks in advance
