Qantas A380 reliability issues creeping up again?

Premium Economy.

Premium is completely full. That’s why no seat selection available.

Thanks for that.
I was under the impression the seat map was still displayed , even if full.

I have had instances where one QF cabin is blocked by QF and therefore not available in EF. Probably when cabin largely full but leaving some wriggle room for checkin staff to manage any key issues (eg. babies/children).

I see Nancy Bird is back in service, on QF1 today and more or less on time.

She was in good spirit today and got us to Singapore as QF1 20 minutes early!

We had her last week on QF93, minor delay but otherwise all ok.

Been back a while now.
Still four aircraft in AUH - OQC, D, K, L

I've noticed QF11 on Wed July 10 and the return QF12 on the same date have been zeroed out in expert flyer. Yesterday when I checked, there was plenty of availability (I was keeping an eye on loads for upgrade chances). Does this mean it's likely going to be canceled? Wonder when Qantas will let us know...

Sounds like one of the A380's is out of action for a few days then.

One person on FB flying SYD- LAX got rerouted on EK via DXB.. First Class ticket so limited the options.

OQH. It was diverted back to SIN doing July 7's QF1. Ouch.

Looks like it is still there.

I know that person too, and he did very very well to get put on EK in F, even if the long way round. Imo totally winning imo

Damn - that is likely going to cause major disruption for a few thousand people

You'd be a bit miffed if they put you on BA to SIN rather than SQ! Can you ask and is it down to the airport or does anyone know its a strict BA only policy ?

(assume availability comes into it as well of course, just wondering about the QF policy)

Airline partners first, then OW carriers, then other carriers. In that order for airport rebooking. Also depending in connections and other various factors too,

Just at Changi - VH-OQH still sitting around and at least outside, no one working on Reginal Ansett. Btw, just realised that this is the same A380 that also did the Baku excursion around Xmas 2022.
