Maybe I missed this, but when searching for BNE-HKG in June, QF97 is (apparently) operated by a 787.

New frames arriving? Revising the utilisation of the doubles to LAX? Simply a QF IT mistake?

Looks like a few dates around there, and sometimes also on the SYD leg.

It's also on the SYD-HKG run multiple days that week - must be getting the airframe from somewhere..

Qantas has been running 787s to HKG from MEL, BNE and SYD since the 7th and 8th aircraft arrived. The amount of 787 services from each city varies. They can't send them to Europe like with the LHR-PER-MEL-LAX/SFO trip due to a mix of issues with European curfews, available EU slots, bilateral air service agreement requirements, flight times and perferred US flight times and they don't want to open new US routes without an approved joint venture with AA. So they have sent them to HKG in lieu of opening flights to ORD or SEA. If/when they get approval, they are likely to redeploy the aircraft from HKG to a new US route (BNE or MEL-DFW or SYD or BNE-ORD or SEA).

The next QF 787s (Line numbers 921, 929 and 941) aren't due until late 2019 and early 2020.
