Sydney to Honolulu

[Garry Emanuel]

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 ?

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.

[Garry Emanuel]

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.

Any further news on the conversion of QF3/4 to A332/333 ?

My plans have been pushed out to 2012. Nothing finite at this stage but just thought I would check.

Thanks in advance.

Still no news on a move from B763 to A332/3 ?

[Jayden Laing]

Only chance you will get Garry is either wait for Hawaiian with their A332's or JetStar.... If the B763 is working for Qantas on the SYD-HNL-SYD run, why change it I say.

Isn't QF getting another A330 from airbus soon or is it for domestic flying only
