Why? What's wrong with that? Someone has to sit in the J seats, and it may as well be the medal winners.

Hi All,

Just an Update for you all.

1st Special Charter Departed Sydney this morning for Bejing.
QF6015 Departed at 06:30.

I assume this was the 744.
Anyone can confirm this and the Rego?

Also the Return Flight info is on the Sydney Airport Website.

QF6076 from Bejing Schedule to arrive at 06:40 26/8
QF6072 " " 07:00 26/8

Also noted on Sydney Airport website is another Flight QF6016 from Hong Kong which is scheduled to arrive at 18:50 26/8.

Does ayone know anything about that flight?? Is it an extra Charter or just a Delayed Service??

Stuart

perhaps its something to do with the divide? swimmers get exceptional funding where cycling, athletics and other sports are left floundering with very little funding.

From memory, at the Athens Olympics, the team captain and gold medal winners travelled in First Class, while silver and bronze medallists were in Business class.

VH-OJH operated QF6015 to Beijing this morning.

VH-QPD is the likely candidate for the other charter as QF188 was cancelled this morning and last night. From what others have said, I assume this aircraft is going to fly Hong Kong - Beijing - Sydney.

Alex.

46 medallists across 11 different sports.. Don't think they'll be thinking too much about the divide on this trip home..

I pity the business class traveller that sits next to Sally McLennan. Going from her post run press interviews they wont get a word in the entire flight.
