The QF73/74 SYD-SFO-SYD flights on 14JAN will be ops by A380 in lieu of B744 a/c.

Dont tell me you have a ticket already. How about the 29th Nov. Is the A380 flying out of Syd that day.

Will the A380 replaced the 744 on that route?

Or will the 787? (I heard that the 787 was more suitable, going by the passenger loads on those flights)

The 787 in Qantas colours are is still a good 5 years off. Even then Qantas's first 787 will be the smaller model hand me downs from Jetstar which they plan to use to replace the 767's with.

Is there any possibility that QF's A380s will operate more flights to LAX in the next couple of months than the current Friday SYD flight and the Monday MEL flight?

If I remember correctly, the reduction in QF A380 flights to LAX was due to delivery delays for their upcoming A380s, but even if one more of those birds were delivered by the end of November, could we possibly see an extra flight to LAX just prior to Christmas ?? ..or is there next to no chance of that..

So its a one off??
