it's been stopped for quite a while now, maybe 6 months or more.
The arriving flight was QF149, departing as QF8. Many years ago, there use to be a QF7 that left in the evening, but that was replaced by the 149.

It was my favourite flight to get back from LAX on. Loads were good at times but the lack of connections this end due to the time of arrival meant it suffered a little. QF007 was always my favourite to get to LAX as well due to the later arrival time. Guess I'll have to go from AKL now on QF025 !

Mainly qantas needed to axe a SYD-LA service, and the 107 and 11 were the best slotted timed flights for both departures from SYD and arrivals in the morning into SYD. Also, as James mentioned, the loads were lighter on the QF8 than if they axed the 11/12. The 107/108 was always staying as it linked onto JFK.

It was cancelled from August last year but made official later that year. With the A380 coming on board, it basically took the passengers and the cargo and combined it with the existing services.
It was great for cargo and great for passengers because of the timing and the loads. I always loved that flight.......
