With A380-01 doing the MEL-LAX run, what routes will A380-02 and 03 operate? I assume the Pacific and Kangaroo routes, but does anyone have authoritative info?

It takes around 2 aircraft to complete a daily MEL-LAX service.
So I would say the first 4 or so aircraft will be used for 1x daily MEL-LAX-MEL and 1x daily SYD-LAX-SYD service. |

Here's what Qantas says on its own website, although this must be a little while back as it was still assuming an August 2008 service commencement:

according to these images the interior has been installed.
http://www.news.com.au/heraldsun/gal...6020-2,00.html that economy green is disgusting! the business class looks cheap and first class looks more like a new business class. pardon my harshness but the fitout looks terrible. |

well its clearly green so maybe the red is for the economy plus section? there is some red in pictures 5 & 6, perhaps upper & lower deck have a mix of colours?

Hmm - the fitout captions in the Herald Sun pics don't look right to me - I wonder if those pics are old and taken of a mock up cabin. If A380-01 has only just arrived in Hamburg for its fitout it's unlikely these photos are from that aircraft already fitted out but if they are I have to agree with others that it's a little disappointing.

a380 route
Philip,
In regards to destinations; by 2nd or the 3rd, I am not sure which, but what I am hearing in the QCC office is that first a/c will be doing SYD LAX via MEL, until the second arrives (Dec or Jan), then SYD SIN. Now I dont know how accurate this info is, but I guess I'll find out during the A380 Roadshow next week. kutay |
