Qantas boosts international capacity, wet lease Finnair aircraft

I wonder, when the AY wet lease becomes a dry lease late next year, if the aircraft will keep the AY seats, or if they be changed to the QF seats.
They are [currently] meant to keep the 2 aircraft under the dry lease for 3 years.

Hopefully they keep the AY seats. You get Economy Comfort rows at the front of Y and a rather decent PE. Though, J is awesome for some and a trouble for others.

It was reported somewhere (maybe a link upthread) that they’ll get a repaint but retain the interiors.

Having the additional PE will be attractive to many. For SYD-SIN, there’s always the A380 or alternate days with QF81/82 for those who don’t like the AY J seat. Wouldn’t bother me o/n but I’ve not tried it on a “day flight” when I’d probably like to recline with a wine and a movie.
