Those swaps for the Sydney 787-9 services seem to have stayed at Hong Kong - now between the daily MEL-HKG and the SYD-HKG 787-9 rotations. Only two of the Saturday BNE-SYD-BNE 787-9 domestic rotations have been used to swap aircraft since they began on 7th September. The first on the second week of the service, and the other today. The BNE-SYD leg started with the earlier QF505, then QF509, before settling on QF513, the return leg has always been QF540.
The MEL / BNE swaps in LAX between QF 95 arrivals and QF 96 departures continue. The last time there was no swap was on 4th/5th October rotation.
