QF Schedule changes

[Ben O]

VH-EBJ and EBK will be joined by more domestic A332s once the B787s begin service with JQ and the JQ A332s move back to QF.

QF has 1 more A332 on the way VH-EBL. I have heard it could be in Intl or Dom config, or even end up at JQ due to the B787 delays??

I just concern over QF is converting 73Hs and 332s to these long haul flights, will they refurnish their interior to meet their International Flight standards?

I think the next lots of QF 73Hs should deploy international product such as PTV and Premium Econ instead of Business class, that I am sure Pacific and PER - SIN can be better off in addition to better service.

.

The 332's on the above mentioned flights all have Skybed and PTV's in economy. It is only the 2 x domestic configured planes that don't.

I presume the 332 coming in DEC will be in Internaitonal config, otherwise how are they getting a 332 to ops PVG etc to free up the 333 to fly to MNL/CGK etc?

The 332s will be freed up off the QF25/26 service once that reverts back to all B744 and put on PVG/PEK. The current Intl 332s also do a bit of domestic flying atm which will prob stop as well.

No flying has been published for the next A332 VH-EBL

I have a LAX-AKL-MEL flight in Early March, this date better not slip back again as I don't feel like spending those hours in a very poor J seat!

Not much difference between the A330 and 744 J seat.

Hi

I've flown both on the 333 and 744 looked the same - what are the differences? Are they slightly narrower width on the 332/333?

Also is their any difference between the upperdeck and maindeck Skybeds on the 744 and also the ones in nose of the 2 class 744s?

Thanks,

[Andrew M]

I don't mind the A332/3 in international configuration, I thought the 743 still flew the odd MEL-AKL-LAX sectors ?

How is that? PER-SIN double daily is operated by 333 aircraft only. How is a int configured 73H going to add better service to the route?

Jon H -

There is, in fact, slight differences in Skybed seats. Whilst I do not know if it affects the cushion width, I do know the seat unit is narrower on 332/333 and A Zone on 2-cl 744.

Look for the water bottle stowage being in a different location.
