Just wondering, does anyone have a prediction when the 737 BNE-PER might get upgauged to an A330?

No guarantee it will stay an A330, they can change it back to a B737.

It ran as a 332 today on one rotation but that might have just been a proving flight ex maintenance or storage

I expect that it has much more to do with borders staying open, and whatever effect their flexible status has had on the willingness of people to book. If the bookings aren’t there, it takes very little effort to substitute one type for the other, especially as they aren’t doing anything else at the moment.
BTW, there is no such thing as a proving flight in this instance. Test flights could well be necessary for some aircraft as they come out of storage, but they don’t involve a wander across the country. There are very specific items to be tested, with many of the switches that the pilots never get to play with, being exercised. For instance, on some flights, engines are shut down and then restarted in flight.

Dropped my phone yesterday. Picked it up the Flightaware had opened. For some reason I clicked on VH-EBE!. Better buy a lottery ticket!
