Why don't VH-OEG and OEH fly to DFW often?

[Jack B]

According to 16right.com ACARS, OEG and OEH visit DFW far less than the other ERs. Is there a reason for this?

[Jason Carruthers]

I believe they are both in the new 3 class product (along with OEI). They probably need a First class cabin for the Dallas run. 3 of the 6 weekly Brisbane- Los Angeles runs are operated by these aircraft. OEG has been running it lately. Does anyone else know which other routes they fly?

They have the new product so there is less J seats. They would prefer to keep the aircraft with the first class to have more premium seats at the moment.

They also fly the new config ER aircraft to Buenos Aires.

QF7/8 operate with a First Class cabin however this is purely cosmetic and it's Business Class service. The "A" zone seats are assigned to top tier Freq Flyers. The QF7/8 is sold and marketed as a J / W / Y 3 class flight with no First Class service.
