Qf8031
Enjoyed the sight of a Qantas A380 taking off over my house at 8pm with lights blazing. It struck me that it was an unusual hour for one of their flights to be heading out and assumed it was a late departure. A check of the Sydney Airport website showed it was QF8031 due out at 8pm to SIN-LHR but with no check-in counter information. A check of the Qantas website showed that it was a scheduled service (although it had the departure as 6pm). That flight number does not appear again in the Qantas online timetable. Does anyone have any idea about the "one off" nature of this service?

It was techincally QFA0031D from Sunday. Due to it departing after Monday's QFA0031 the 'D' was added for ATC purposes and the system flight number changed to 8031.

There was a story on Ch 7 news last night about it being delayed... First A380 got cancelled due to a maint issue, and then the second one went tech as well (according to news story!)... Disgruntled passenger complained about only being offered a glass of champagne, and then she ended up going with a different carrier...
QF statement read at the end of the story mentioned that it Quote:

A 24 hour delay makes news? Apparently she was also crying during the story too - there are worst things happening in the world than being delayed for 24 hours!
If they are not 100% confident in the aircraft, they are not going to fly it. Thanks for the information about the new flight number AJ.
