Undertherader, why don't you unsubscribe to Ausbt then, and just get updates from Qantas media. Comments like yours are a waste of time on this forum.

I HATE when someone starts a thread saying it is a 'scoop' based on NO ACTUAL FACTS. If the OP claims a scoop, please reveal the source/s. End of my thoughts on this topic. bye bye.

I thought there was only 1 A380 freed up by this change? I realise it takes 2 x A380's to operate the current QF9/10 but that is offset by the fact that QF1 will now have to sit idle at LHR for 15 hrs while waiting to depart as QF2. happy to be corrected.

I think they will retime the QF1/2 to prevent that.

The current QF1/2+9/10 rotation uses 5 aircraft. This was 6 aircraft prior to the QF9/10 retime (when 2 aircraft sat at LHR for 15 hours).
Removing the A380 from QF9/10 will free up 2 aircraft.
Daily EU-AU/NZ flights tend to require 3 aircraft. A 2 aircraft requirement is possible subject to curfew, slot and turn times.

Could we see qf1/2 retimed to a late evening departure from SYD , lunchtime arrival in LHR with the evening departure back arriving early morning to SYD allowing that frame to operate onto lax. That could mean they operate to lax and lhr ex syd with 4.5 frames

also economy after PE and the new J seats are pretty space efficient compared the current ones i don't think they take up too much more room
Well, on the A330s, there are now 28 J suites where there used to be 36 Skybeds.....
