I didn't mention in the post but this may be operated by Shanghai Airlines' Boeing 767, which inflight product is inferior compared to MU 333/343.

Will the 767 be in Shanghai and not China Southern colours, if so will be something new to spot on the tarmac at MEL.

Funny,

like the first or second day the 767 service was originally meant to start- they send an A346 to MEL
