As to what Qantas is doing with it's extra 787-9 in the short term, it appears that one plane will provide a daily service to Hong Kong from Melbourne (QF29 / QF 30) from 1st November.

Yes Peter. The 789 operates QF29/30 MEL - HKG and vv from 2/11/19 - 29/3/20 ex MEL. The aircraft will then be used on QF127/128 SYD - HKG and vv to replace the seasonal A380 on this route. See post #478 on page 48 of this thread for more information.

Thanks James, thought I'd read that somewhere, just didn't have a start date.
So VH-ZNJ will arrive in time for Qantas to cover the new Sydney-Auckland 787-9 service between 4 Dec 2019 & 28 Mar 2020 ? |

I understand that QF7879, VH-ZNJ, will arrive in SYD from LHR at 11.45am on 15/11. However, ZNI was due to arrive on 24/10 and came on 20/10. Seeing that Alan Joyce mentioned that ZNJ would go into service by the middle of November, I presume that it will arrive earlier than 15/11.

Peter, QANTAS will take delivery of ZNJ and ZNK prior to commencing B789 SYD-SFO-SYD flights on QF73/74 from 4/12/19. With a 6:05 arrival and 17:55 departure from/to SFO, the AKL flights will operate when the B789 would otherwise be inactive during the day in SYD. The AKL flights QF141/144 will depart at 7:40 and arrive back at 15:45 with the flight sequence being SYD-SFO-SYD-AKL-SYD-SFO etc every day with the two B789s.
