UPDATE - I spoke to QF earlier today and enquired about the A380 changes as I noticed when trying to make a booking SYD-HKG that there was no First availability from early Oct onwards.
The phone agent was very helpful and suspected what I did; that A380 will no longer be going to HKG, but no announcement yet. She rang the scheduling analysts to check, and after a long hold said: "the scheduling analysts have not formally announced any changes yet, but did say that First Class will no longer be offered on the SYD-HKG sector"...... Read into that what you want, but fairly clear that it will soon be announced as A330 or B747.
Not sure what the yields were for QF on the A380, but was also on the same sector 6 months ago paying full fare in First, and the cabin was full - unless they have a lot of upgrades using points on the route?
Have booked on SQ via SIN instead (in A380 First Suites which are arguably better anyway), and saved about $1,300 one way.......
