A380 LAX-Australia

[inpd]

Hi,

I've got my 96K points and want to fly the A380 to Australia and back.

I thought they went into service in late 2008, but when I try booking for 2008
Nov the equipment still shows the old 747 equipment.

Anyone know when the A380's are giong to fly the AUS-US routes.
Also, will they still cost the same number of points as taking a 747?

Thanks.

At the moment we have no confirmed information to any of those questions - sadly

IIRC, SQ were very late to announce the services their A380 would be offering (a couple of months). I would expect QF to hold off on changing the aircraft type in the timetables until late in the piece as well.

And if you wanted to take pot luck, the A380 is supposed to be operating on the MEL-LAX run initially so if you booked MEL-LAX on QF93 & QF94, you would stand a better chance than booking QF175 BNE-LAX.

I wouldn't be suprised if the seats are hard to come by when the schedule is actually changed.

The current schedule is the first to be delivered from August 2008, however as little_flier posted the schedules wont be updated until the delivery and specific routes/days are finalised.
