out of curiosity, what is the seating difference between domestic and international 767's? I thought they were all the same?

In business domestic is 2x2x2 in international it is 1x2x2. Business seats in international also have more leg room and a small PTV. Down the back in economy no major difference.

Do international configured a/c regularly appear on international routes?

If you meant do international configuration appear on domestic routes, then yes. It is getting less frequent with the conversion of said aircraft to domestic configuration.

With the conversion to domestic configuration J seats are fitted with laptop power that is not present in the international configuration. Though the seats become 2x2x2 (as already mentioned) and lose 12" of pitch to 38".

Also loose 6 inches of recline and a very comfortable cushion. The international seats (called Dreamtime for those that care) are really made for sleeping in were as the more firmer cushioned domestic seats (called Millennium) are really just for relaxing or doing work in.

I've had 2 recent flights SYD-BNE and both had the Dreamtime 1X2X2 seating. I know they are old seats but they are still very comfortable.

I found the Millenium seats to be very comfortable when I flew on the red eye from Perth a few days ago. Even managed to get some sleep on the short flight.

Not directly related to the QF query but of interest.
IIRC in the cutbacks announce late last year, Qantas said they weren't taking up these leases.
