06/11 QF87 is back - anyone trying it?

Saw mention of this on Facebook and AusBT: QF87 Sydney to Hong Kong - a new flight? - Answers | Trip report | Travel advice - Australian Business Traveller

Anyone going to take this for a joy ride up to HKG? The lack of QF overnights ex-Aus to Asia is annoying.

Not sure what the fuss is, this will happen on a regular basis as the aircraft go up for heavy maint, OEH is there doing exactly that now after operating QF87 on the 19/9

I didn't know there was another one so recently!

Will this flight be on a refurb 747?

It would appear so.

There's a QF88 on 12/10... suspect that's VH-OEH coming back from maintenance.

Saw it as it did the right turn over Loftus and headed out over the Royal National Park this morning as it joined the queue for landing.
