Qantas A380 refurbishment news and updates

[mviy]

I can only dream of MEL-LHR coming back on the A380. Even MEL-SIN would be something.

Longer term one will get an A350 Sunrise flight from SYD, MEL, PER to LHR, and then I suspect one A380 SYD-SIN-LHR to use the four slots that QF reportedly has.

Query if QF might start taking back the slots in advance of the A350 deliveries.

I reckon the single flight number will be BNE-SIN-LHR but timed with SYD-SIN, even if the aircraft does fly from SYD and swaps flight numbers in SIN.

Quite possibly. They did that for a while on the LAX- JFK service.
But in any event it's probably close to the end of the decade before QF has a full complement of Sunrise 350s

VH-OQJ, in Dresden since Feb 10, has snuck out overnight, made it's way to LHR and is now operating QF2 to SIN.

And looks like it was a swap with VH-OQH which has flown into DRS.

Do any of the 388s currently in service, or being restored soon, still have the old Skybed fitout? Is there any danger of booking a QF 388 service and not getting Business Suites?

None of the old configuration remain.

Signs of life from OQG at Dresden. Might be re entering service soon.
