Qantas Boeing 747-400 VH-OJS retired

And then there were eight.

The Qantas Boeing 747-400/400ER fleet is down to eight aircraft after the retirement of VH-OJS.

The aircraft, named Hamilton Island, operated its last revenue service in Qantas colours on Sunday February 17, when it took off from Sydney bound for San Francisco as the QF73.

That is a Jetstar 787 showing on Tue and Thu - the days QANTAS doesn't fly to HNL with it's own aircraft. QANTAS will fly daily ex Tue and Thu with A333s.

I have just noticed in the NRMA Open Road magazine that Constellation Journeys is advertising a 20 day around the world trip on a chartered QANTAS 744. The dates are from 30 September to 19 October, 2019 with the 744 advertised as having an "A380 interior" with 2nd generation fully flat business class seats, upgraded premium economy and economy seats. With OEB being retired in April there is no first class offered on this trip.
