Default QF A332s on domestic SYD/MEL-PER flights

Are the 332s used on the PER trans-con flights ever operated with the intl SkyBed cabin or is it the Millenium seat? Thanks...

sorry if this has been answered before but I did search and couldn't find it...

Yep - international config (Skybed) is used. VH-EBL is an INTL configurated aircraft. As you can see from the log, plenty of flights to Perth. There are two domestically configured A332's.

As far as i know EBJ and EBK are both domestic config and dont have Skybed. But i have noticed some of the intl config A332's do some SYD-PER-SYD runs.

Its mixed at the moment.

But looking at the schedules for early next year it appears no more A333s or Intl A332s just domestic A332/B763s on the PER runs.

QF take delivery of 2x domestic A332s in NOV and FEB apparently fitted with AVOD PTVs. (Same as new trans tasman B73Hs)

Looking at the schedules for early next year I guess QF will have some spare Intl A333/A332 capacity to use else where?

SYD-HNL-SYD take over from the domestic config 763s maybe?

EBG, EBH, EBI and EBL are all fitted with skybeds.

Would be great to get these on the Perth-Japan runs. 763 doesnt cut the mustard for pax.

Thanks for all the replies guys...

Im flying on 29OCT and back 31OCT - so I guess it's too far out to tell which aircraft - maybe I can ask again closer to date and find out rego?

Thanks again

Generally speaking QF 581/582 SYD-PER-SYD and QF 577/566 SYD-PER-SYD are operated by the international config 332s with the latter sometimes operated by a 333. QF 485/802, QF 575/580, QF 481/648 and QF 583/568 are the ones usually operated by the domestic config aircraft.

This is a general rule only as these are sometimes changed around slightly.
