Could the 787-9 do JFK to Sydney nonstop if it was only J class and Y + ? The passenger seeking a bargain should fly via LAX.

The difference in plane sizes between a 787-9 and A380 show Qantas has a need for something in between. 787-10 or some interim 777-300ER would be wonderful for Qantas until the 777-9 or A350 are ordered. Such a plane would be great for Sydney to Haneda.
