I can't get the pop up "View Flight Details" to work after 29/8/17. Is that the screen on the QANTAS website that you were using to show the A333 on QF 29/30 from 30/8/17, Shaal?

When a 747 goes off for heavy maintenance for a month or three they don't usually "drop any services" The slack is taken up by flying the other aircraft harder. I suspect having OJM gone will be like this.

yes that's right James ,view flight details screen is the one , although it seems to be not working atm . but if you hold the cursor on the red triangle , at the bottom of my screen it shows a line of a whole bunch of text with the aircraft type right at the end .

Thank you for that tip, Shaal. I will no longer have to take my frustration out on the pop ups!

As QF29/30 is currently a daily service with a 744 this is the first retirement, presumably VH-OJM after 30/8/17.

I wonder from which route QANTAS will reallocate the A333 for QF 29/30?

I think what you will find is the A330-200 fleet having increased utilization on International routes. A majority of Singapore flights from Melbourne / Sydney / Brisbane are operated by the A330 fleet. It is a mix between the -200 and -300 fleet. I would expect that is where you get the A330-300 from.

Alex.

Both airlines have been shedding capacity on the transcon legs, VA to allow for HKG intro and QF are following. Makes sense, QF 747 product would struggle against VA 330.

Pie man charged with providing false details, and Mr Joyce told reporters today he intended to press assault charges.

Qantas boss Alan Joyce to press charges against pie-thrower opposed to same-sex marriage

OT but you don't press charges in Australia, at least not in a criminal sense. Maybe the pie thrower should spend some time with Alan, I have, and have to say it changed my opinions on the man, through gentleman.

Is there any word on OJM's final sectors and departure date?
