I imagine as temporary swaps you'll probably have F seats as J and PE as Y. I think that's happened a few times for HKG route as well.

No Classic Reward seats available on either days

I would like to see the A380 back permanently on this route. I’d like to see QF9/10 run MEL-SIN-LHR return on the A380, but that’s highly unlikely to happen. MEL-SIN return on the A380 would at least provide a way to fly on the QF A380 MEL-SIN-LHR return connecting to QF1/2

Are you emotionally attached to the QF9/10 flight numbers? Or do you just want to see a MEL-SIN-LHR routing can use an A380 the whole way?

QF35/36 was an A380 pre COVID but will almost be impossible now given OQE & OQF we're both scrapped.

was flying in Feb and a few days it was a 787 and PE was sold as PE

Not for QF51 though:

Post in thread 'QF51 equipment change to 787'

Quite a few dates in March as well.

Interestingly, Qantas is not selling Premium Economy on these flights. Presumably this means you could book Economy and choose a PE seat, although I just tried making a dummy booking on the Qantas website and seat selection wasn't available at all.

Booked this flight today, business class but trying my luck at seat selecting in the Main Deck front section.

Trouble with A380 on the route permanently (in terms of connections to/from LHR A380 service QF 1/2) is timing. The flights connecting (with minimum connection time) are QF37->QF1 and then QF2->QF36, so with A380 you get a longer connection in one direction., as QF 37 and QF36 are operated by different planes (it's a 6 hr connection from QF35->QF1 or from QF2->QF38).

Good luck, @altf4 - and welcome to posting!

Do you have QF status? Logged in with my Platinum number I can select seats on the main deck (first cabin) in addition to the upper deck when selecting a business fare. Then when selecting an economy fare can select either the premium economy cabin on the upper deck or the economy cabin on the main deck.

I am Gold - my post wasn't clear in hindsight. I have been able to select seats in the First Class section (assuming I'm reading the seat maps right and they're accurate).
