Does anyone know where the 787 is planned to park? I was looking to see if i can do some night shots from southern cross drive or the observation deck.

Thanks

Don't know exactly Alexander, but I know that one of the gates (Nigel might be able to tell us) on the end of terminal 3 (QF domestic) were retrofited a while back to accommodate the 787. Now if they plan to test those bridges out while it's here you maybe able to get a shot from obs deck. so I hope this helps you out a bit...

I think your right matt, I can only remember it as the one next to the gate that QF 581/82 sits when that flight is being flown by a 744....

What gates in MEL can accomodate an 787, I would assume Gate 11, 21 and 23.
