No - the flights to/from BNE are going to be a 74 for a while.

I don't know if I buy the idea of an entire spare A380 for a fleet of 11 that's still young-ish and not demanding heavy maintenance. Perhaps better to have a spare 744 available if an A380 goes tech?

I do wonder if too much capacity is being pumped into HKG and if the spare A380 and capacity from doing another 3x weekly HKG would be better deployed to LAX--either the second daily SYD or the BNE.

plenty of seats available, but not on the A380. I've just booked the tickets myself. I had intended to go to HKG next year anyway so a bit more spending money for me!

Is this service starting on schedule on the 15th? I thought I had heard that the commencement date may have been put back,but that may be wrong? Anyone know?

Thanks
Jim
