Well this is good news!
Qantas are bringing back the daily direct MEL-NRT route with Jetstar to withdraw from that service after Feb 25.
I booked my Japan flights last night and was surprised to see Qantas offering the direct flights for $850 return pp.
Apparently anybody booked on Jetstar after Feb 25 will be re-booked on Qantas.
