Hi All,

With those changes, I guess Oprah and her US Fans, will slum it on a B744 instead of the planned A380.

What a pity

Stuart

Hi all

Please forgive me for my silly tedious query. Though are there specific days and flights one could expect to find the A380 on? Or is it the daily QF31 to London?


Thanks

Well said Stuart; that's the first thing that came into mind when the groundings started.

Good luck to her and her 'guests' and hope they enjoy their trip and time in Oz.

Qantas would be desperate to get Oprah and her followers on the A380, could they not route the aircraft through HNL ? Just a thought.

OQE and OQF are both operational now. OQF is inbound to YSSY as QF32, just passing overhead RIVET at FL140 and tracking for final approach to 34L.

Just picked up VH-OQD on Acars operating QF6022 so all three a/c from LAX have now been ferried to SYD.
