QF9/QF10 - A380 Ops Going Daily ?

[lovestotravel]

Okay with the recent Qantas sale it appears I'll be back on QF again for a few long hauls!

Another 3 A380's to arrive this year, with one due in the next month or so.

Where are these 3 x A380's getting deployed to and I guess is QF9/10 going to daily A380 ?

I have little trust in Qantas with their pulling of the A380 off the SYD-LAX-SYD route on random days....

 

[Sprucegoose]

Do we know the frequency of the equipment switches? Is it scheduled or last minute ?

 

[lovestotravel]

Scheduled, yet the schedule is meant to be daily A380 ops on QF11/12

Brisbane needs these A380s! Although I dont mind the extra SC in traveling via syd, i just dont like syd airport.

 

[lovestotravel]

Hmm so sounds like QF9/10 will be daily by the end of year

Need to take advantage of the 2 for 1 J sale fares!

So not worth using FF points for J redemption when fares are 1/2 price!

Agree but I think that might be some time off???
