I thought OJA to OJE, OJI and OJJ were the only two class 744's, so I think she is right.

Click Here to check out the QF74 registrations.

VH-OEI did the service on the 18/12/2009, where as VH-OJI seemed to stop operating this service back in 2008.

It must have been -OEI

She isn't much of an aviation enthusiast so I should have thought something was up

Grahame, VH-OEI operated QF74 on 16/12, OEB on 18/12

And yes, VH-OJI is 2 class only, the last 2 class aircraft to operate as QF74 was on 5/12 VH-OJB

If it takes into account the time zone changes it all fits, if OEI left SFO on the 16th USA time, it would arrive in SYD on the 18th AUS time.

Yes Darren is correct, in fact you both are. QF74 departs on the 16th and arrives on the 18th, so the flight that arrived in SYD on the 18th was OEI, whereas the flight that departs on the 18th was OEB
