Not many left now
OGT is still soldering on today (30 November) which is good news.

Perhaps QF still needs the capacity of the 763s in the lead up of the busy Christmas travel period which makes sense for them to hold off retiring them.

Zac is right - OGI finished on Friday, all the others will retire on the same day.

Looks like the cricket changes may impact dates.

Looks like the flight number for the final Qantas Boeing 767 service has been changed from QF452 to QF767, as a tribute to the retiring aircraft.

I'm just curious to know how many forum members will be on QF767?

Default 767

Unfortunately I won't be on QF767, but I will be on QF686 ADL-MEL.

Last time one will be in ADL.

Thumbs up to QF for the small tribute.

Thankfully QF does not have to worry about this issue as QF767 does not operate on Saturdays.

VH-OGI "City Of Port Augusta" was delivered in 1991, and served Qantas (and Australian) for 23 years.
