JAL 777-300ER back on Sydney route

[RB001]

Does anyone know the dates of the plane swap, more specifically when does JAL stop flying the 777 with F to SYD?

Sunday 30th March - the day flight JL52 goes up to Tokyo as the 777. When JL51 comes back that night, it'll be the 787.

26 March seems last bookable date for F - maybe 30 March?

I was hoping there may be something in April but looks unlikely

Is it likely to come back or even better with the new F seats?

They're showing the 777 back at the end of October, but not currently selling F class.
The new F class will only appear on the A350-1000s that are replacing the 777s on a 1 in 1 out basis. I'd say that SYD would be a ways down their list, particularly as we don't have the 777 year round.

Has anyone else had trouble selecting the seat on the HND to SYD flight in J after the downgrade? I can see the seatmap and select seats but I get an error when I try to save it.

Interestingly F awards never showed for me and I checked for days before and within seconds of their release. J was thank goodness. However I was able to select the 'f' cabin. But alas that's gone now.
