Qantas will add more flights between Australia and Hong Kong and Manila as a result of increasing demand from travelers. From 26 October 2015*, Qantas will operate an additional four Sydney-Hong Kong services each week, on top of the current daily services available from Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane.
Services from Sydney to Manila will increase from four to five per week between early December 2015 and late March 2016 to offer more capacity during the peak holiday season.

The fifth weekly Sydney-Manila service (QF19/20) will operate on Sundays from 6 December 2015 and 20 March 2016 inclusive. Schedule differs from Qantas’ year-round services to Manila which operate four days per week on Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays and Saturdays. Subject to regulatory approval, Qantas will operate this fifth weekly service on a more permanent basis beyond the Northern Winter scheduling season.
