Sydney to Honolulu
 

Have heard much about some changes to QF equipment (from B763 to A332/333).;)

Is there anything definitive on this happening and if so, when ?:D

Am contemplating a trip to HNL, however, have a real struggle doing 8 hours on a tired 763 without decent IFE and more than likely, broken seats and worn out fittings.;)

Thanks in advance.

The dreamtime 767s really truly aren't that bad in Y. They're far from ideal, but they aren't painful.

Lack of comfort, no decent IFE and for 8 hours is not a reasonable expectation.

Can live with it SYD-MEL or SYD-BNE but anything longer is a tall order.

Hawaiian and Jetstar don't offer 'decent IFE' either. The new A330s are going to Jetstar...........when the next ones go to QF, that would be the opportunity.

Not looking likely in the near term.

You might like to break the trip on Air New Zealand. They send their 767-300's up to HNL. I know their IFE is miles ahead of Qantas.

Just a quick question about the dreamtime 767's.
I know Y doesn't have personal IFE but does J have personal IFE screens?
I have travelled few times on these 767's mainly between BNE-SYD but never in J.

Yes they do have personal IFE screens in J. They ain't the biggest screen though.

This option is the best!

2 years ago I was on a newly refurbished NZ 767 - only across the Tasman but was one the best flights I was on, and the IFE was great.

Timing unknown.

If I hold to doing QF, I may need to consider JQ and pay out for StarClass.

Not brilliant but better than the 767.
