QF A380 Schedule Announced

There is business award availability, but nothing in first.

In fact, from what I can see, there is no A class availability - so no AONE* usage!

Hmm... don't see myself on the big fella anytime soon unless they announce additional sectors shortly. Oh well... get to enjoy the 744 while it's still around. Glass half full...

24 Oct SYD-LAX QF11 14:05-09:45

<Reposition to MEL, but also appears that it's not being sold>

27 Oct MEL-LAX QF93 11:10-07:30

I am somewhat surprised by the amount of time that it is spending on the ground! Though this will no doubt reduce over time.

Would be nice if the repositioning flights were being sold!!

Better than over scheduling early and not being able to deliver.

Would be great! Trying desperately to get a US trip approved now for around about the introduction.

Can't wait to try it out.

Aha...fooled us...they are flying both SYD and MEL services. I am booked on QF93 in Jan, currently a 744 day. I reckon I might stick with upstairs on the 744 for now. True flat seat on the A380 but essentially a day flight anyway. Will think on it.

Notice the A332's AKL-LAX are gone from November changed to all 744's.

I'd love to see them do SYD-MEL for the reposition.

Standard intl 2 class 747-400 config

Any idea what the spared 3/4 class 747 will be up to now? (PLEASE BNE-LAX)

I checked a few dates for BNE-LAX and it appears the standard 2 class intl continues to service this route... unfortunately.

Sydney to Buenos Aires will take up some of the 747 capacity.
