Any Sydney visits known to be planned for this (or the other 787s) over the next few weeks?

Hey everyone
I did the Boeing factory tour today at Paine field and ZNF's aft & forward sections were being attached to the mid section. The wings were cured onto the bottom of the mid section also.

Does anyone know if any of the remaining 787's to be delivered this year will feature a "One World" livery similar to OEF & EBV?

Default Hong Kong gets Dreamliners

Qantas has today announced Hong Kong as the next destination for its Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner.
Quote:
From December 2018*, customers travelling on selected Qantas flights to Hong Kong will experience the Dreamliner’s next generation Economy, Premium Economy and Business class cabins:

Brisbane to Hong Kong from 19 December 2018
Melbourne to Hong Kong between 13 December 2018 until 29 March 2019
Sydney to Hong Kong from 30 March 2019.

The changes are timed with the arrival of Qantas’ eighth Dreamliner and will join the national carrier’s A330 and A380 aircraft that also fly to Hong Kong.

Hong Kong joins Los Angeles, New York, London and San Francisco as international destinations served by the Qantas Dreamliner, as the more efficient aircraft gradually replaces the 747 on key routes.
