A380 to LA

[madmax]

Does Qantas fly the A380 to LA anymore. Trying to find A380 flight Sydney to LA in August this year but appears there is none. Anyone able to help?

Further that any comment re best QF J. A380 of 787. Not been on QF787 but on QR I found A380 the best

QF 11/12 are A380’s

QF 11/12 is definitely A380 for the SYD-LAX leg (and vice versa) and then a dreamliner for LAX-JFK leg (and vice versa). Also an A380 SYD-DFW.

QF has daily A380's to LAX from MEL and SYD. 1-2 daily 787 from BNE and 2 weekly 787 from MEL.

Thanks for those replies. When I searched Qantas site it did not list A380, it used 'chg' as aircraft type so was a bit unsure.

any care to comment on difference in 'J' between A380 & 787

787 J is far better than the A380 J. Unless you have big feet, since the foot hole on the 787 can be a little small.

SkyBed2 Vs Business Suite
Lounge Vs no lounge
Upper deck Vs single deck

For most the Business Suite is a clear winner apart from maybe couples (even though it's a more dense configuration), and it's why QF will start returning the A380s in a few months, but won't complete until end 2020

re "chg" were you looking to LAX or to JFK as the QF 11/12 aircraft changes to a 787 at LAX for the JFK tag. That would explain that.
Otherwise, QF11/12 has been an A380 for years, and it won't change anytime soon.

Also regarding the QR experience - you cannot equate aircraft configurations across airlines. The QR product is quite different to what QF currently offers on the A380 which itself is inferior to the newer 787 J suite product. While QF will start upgrading the A380 cabins to include a similar suite product in J on the 380, it won't be in the air for August almost certainly so you'd have 2-2-2 Skybed2 seats. However you would potentially have the ability to upgrade to F.
