Qantas will have 3 787-9s delivered by the end of 2017.

3rd 787
Line Number: 655
Variable Number: ZB271
Assembled: Everett
Delivery:31st December 2017

The first 787 has had its delivery date pushed back a little over two weeks to the 12th October.

Does anyone know if the rego's been allocated yet for the 787-9s?

The inaugural December 15 B787 QF95/96 MEL-LAX flights is on sale.

The QF95 747 Monday service ends on the 23rd January and 19th July for the Wednesday service.

The 4th B787-9 is scheduled to be delivered on the 22nd of February 2018.

Forgive me if this has already been posted... I couldn't see it, though.

QF 789 seat map is now up on their website: http://www.qantas.com/infodetail/fly...2J28PY166Y.pdf

Does look to be a little tight for galley space at doors L4/R4, but wondering if there is some additional galley cart storage nestled in near the crew rest (see the stairs near the L4/R4 galley area) with a lift to the actual galley?

Also looks like proportionally a lot of seats for J and W (3 in total) compared to Y (4 in total).

I'm looking more from the passenger perspective - is that really 3 toilets (maybe 4) for W and Y for flights up to 18 hours? Unless W can also access the J toilets?

Since the 4th 787 is arriving late February 2018 so they can implement the Perth-London service and Qantas plans to retire the 2 oldest 747s by mid 2018 they either must be doing some quite extensive network changes with the 747 routes before the 5th arrives in FY19 or 1 or 2 787s might be delivered earlier than expected in the 4th quarter of FY18 rather than in FY19.

QANTAS has revealed that the 787-9 registrations will be in the VH-ZN* block with the first aircraft VH-ZNA.

Would have liked Qantas to have kept an old rego block, such as VH-OG* (767's) or VH-TJ* (734s).

Thanks James

Looks like VH-ZNA will be serial 39038

The fourth a/c VH-ZND looks like line no 669 ZB272
