Final flights for the B767

[slc767338]

Had my final 767 flight in business yesterday morning BNE-SYD in 4K. Lots of shadows.

Likewise. My last in J yesterday and many many empty seats. EF was showing U9 aswell...

At this stage my final 763 flight is this coming Friday. As it's a Int. Config I blew 10k points to slip myself into 1A.

Might try for a couple of joy flights over the coming weekends depending on timing and pricing.

I've missed out on a few B767 over the past months as they've been repeatedly subbed for B737 Looks like my next B767 will be with BA LHR-ATH that we've booked for early next year.

Enjoy the last few flights....

Should've gotten in on the price slip last week $83/10,500 points + 10,000 points for the upgrade is very appealing post mASA

I'm booked on the final flight on 27/12 - I wasnt happy early last week when I paid $350 (x2 - SWMBO wants to see what all the fuss is about) for one way flex fares only to discover that there wasn't a single window seat left. Thankfully expert flyer came to the rescue today and I managed to snare one which popped up. I haven't yet told SWMBO that she's in an aisle seat a few rows back - that's future TripleB's problem!

Not having read most of this thread, but was browsing through airline route this morning and come across this, not sure if this affects any of you?

QF actually proactively contacted everyone booked on QF490 and offered a free change to QF452 noting that many people booked the flight since it is their final 767 flight.

But thanks for looking out for us

Tonight I tripped over this video by 60 Minutes about the final flight of one of QF's 767 - OGG and Victorville in general.

Nice video and I hope that you enjoy.

Much like the new QF "Feels Like Home" ad, my hay fever was playing up something shocking during that segment when I first watched it.
Isn't it amazing how pollen travels

I ended up booking a flight down, coming down around lunchtime from BNE and that'll give me a couple hours till the final flight.

QF Retiring 767's early, now end 2014 (not mid 2015)

I just read (on another site) that QF have brought forward their plans to retire the 767's.

I have just put in for an upgrade on my next DRW-BNE on the 767, as it may be my last on the old bird.

One memory I have is sharing the cabin with Kevin Rudd and Co, one time when I as in 1A or 2A.

I would not be surprised if the RR's company decides that the plane the OP is booked on, will be swapped for a (wait for it) a 737.
Pooch has answerd, pooch now, *iss off.

Final flight is QF452 on 27/12.

A truly great aircraft, that in many ways is better than the aircraft that followed it.
