A380 VH-OQD is about to depart LAX-SYD and is due in tomorrow morning as QF12. It looks as though QANTAS substituted B789s on one return LAX-SYD-LAX sequence, plus the day off it has on Tuesdays.
Today was meant to be the start of the six days per week A380s on QF11/12 but a B789 departed as QF11 this morning. Friday and Saturday's QF11 are showing on FlightAware at this stage as operated by A380s.
With OQB arriving back from AUH last week QANTAS has been using this and other A380s on tech crew training flights of less than an hour from SYD. This will no doubt boost the available pilots to operate the additional A380 flights with daily QF1/2 and six days per week QF11/12 now scheduled.
