OJE today guys!

[Andrew W]

Would anyone know how long OJD is at Avalon for? Flying this Monday back from Perth and hopefully still a 747. Thanks

[Anthony F]

I think OJD left Avalon yesterday morning for Sydney as QF6196. It flew QF581/582 yesterday

QFA582 seen @ 2011-07-27 12:47 CET on route from PER to SYD
QFA581 seen @ 2011-07-27 07:29 CET on route from SYD to PER

[Andrew W]

Thanks for that Anthony.

FWIW...

VH-OJO is on the run today. First time to Perth since she appeared in the "new" Wallabies scheme

I know Qantas offers Premium Economy and First exculsively on International Flights.
But who are sitting on PE and F seats if any one of them are operating on QF581 and QF582? Or just leave them empty?

[Kelvin R]

First is available to business passengers while premium economy is available to economy passengers. Typically these seats are reserved for gold or higher frequent flyers to pre-allocate or first in best seated at the airport.

VH-QPE A330 was used on today's QF582 (and assuming QF581).
Temporary shortage of 747s or did the scheduled aircraft go tech this morning?

[Jason H]

As was yesterday, and last Thursday was VH-QPA. I'm guessing it is because VH-OJD is operating QF5/6 at the moment most likely as a replacement to VH-OJI which has been out of action the last week.
