Does anyone know if the rego's been allocated yet for the 787-9s?

Forgive me if this has already been posted... I couldn't see it, though.

QF 789 seat map is now up on their website: http://www.qantas.com/infodetail/fly...2J28PY166Y.pdf

Does look to be a little tight for galley space at doors L4/R4, but wondering if there is some additional galley cart storage nestled in near the crew rest (see the stairs near the L4/R4 galley area) with a lift to the actual galley?

Also looks like proportionally a lot of seats for J and W (3 in total) compared to Y (4 in total).

I'm looking more from the passenger perspective - is that really 3 toilets (maybe 4) for W and Y for flights up to 18 hours? Unless W can also access the J toilets?

Since the 4th 787 is arriving late February 2018 so they can implement the Perth-London service and Qantas plans to retire the 2 oldest 747s by mid 2018 they either must be doing some quite extensive network changes with the 747 routes before the 5th arrives in FY19 or 1 or 2 787s might be delivered earlier than expected in the 4th quarter of FY18 rather than in FY19.

Would have liked Qantas to have kept an old rego block, such as VH-OG* (767's) or VH-TJ* (734s).

Thanks James

Looks like VH-ZNA will be serial 39038

The fourth a/c VH-ZND looks like line no 669 ZB272
