QF568: Who to believe? 26/1/17

[flyboysp]

I've always wanted to fly on the upper deck of a 744, but the opportunity has never really been there. On 26/1/17
QF568 flying PER-SYD is scheduled to be a 332 according to the QF website, however EF shows it as being operated by a 744. Which one do i believe in this case? I would only be flying to Perth to catch the 744 back to SYD on the upper deck.

Cheers.

E/F returns a 744 seat map with PE seating avilable for economy travelers. A row 75 seat is selected.

Someone has snaffled 14A upperdeck.

744 going by the crew.

Any ideas on why the 744 is being operated from PER (and also presumably TO PER somehow)?

The same aircraft is also operating the QF583 from SYD to PER the day prior.

The scheduled aircraft has been doing the 127/128 combo in recent days.

OTTOMH - Cricket in PER?

Looking at some history - it was switched from a 332 to a 744 on 7th November.

I think the Antarctica flight is operating out of Perth on Australia Day.

I think the Antarctica flight is operating out of Perth on Australia Day.

That would make sense; gives them up to 26 hours to do the Joy Flight.

Antarctica flight and JohnM is on it, so looking forward to his photos and trip report.

Also reminder that there is road changes to access to Perth airport, Qantas terminals T3/T4.

 

[docjames]

Ok that makes sense, i couldnt find anything on in Perth that would be relevant.

I was going to say Antarctica flight as a guess but have been beaten to it.

Someone grabbed 5J I see. dang it. I was tempted to do a silly trip lol

Have done 2 747s all up.
Red eye PER - SYD years ago in Y and the former QF8 BNE - SYD in J when it was US - BNE - SYD.
Upper deck is a great thing.

Seems a bit harsh, nothing relevant on in Perth

Thanks for all the help and info guys. I've managed to nab myself 16K, and last time I checked, I'll have the seat next to me vacant as well.
