Very interesting, Chris. OQL after only 3 weeks has swapped with OQH in Dresden. After OQK was in Dresden, QANTAS Source said that she was returning after maintenance and reconfiguration. With OQL they have just said, after maintenance in Dresden, so in view of the short time and the Q Source missing comment it looks as though OQL has not been reconfigured. OQJ remains in Abu Dhabi having maintenance.

According to my records, OQD is the only A380 that has not had or is currently having maintenance in either Abu Dhabi or Dresden this year. OQJ remains in Abu Dhabi having maintenance.

Any clarifying input on the refurbishment question would be welcomed. If an A380 is just having the refurbishment how long should this take?
