Current QF15 BNE-LAX aircraft?

[Kangol]

Hi all,
Just wondering if it is now routine for a refurb 747 to run this route? ie with the A380 inspired seating, Skybed Mk II and no F?
Are all there any old 747s still running about (doing the NRT or JNB legs I guess)?
Am looking to go in June/July and it looks like that is the only available option for me right now..

Thanks

Look at TheQantasSource
The QANTAS Source - QANTAS Tracker.

Mostly new configs (both ER and non-ER), but a few exceptions with F

By June/July who knows - would expect a few more non-refurb retirements

Ah, totally forgot about that site. Thanks.

Currently says there are 9 refurbed 747s, any plans for more?

A380 Comfort now available on our B747 fleet | Qantas

There are now nine Boeing 747-400 aircraft operating on selected B747 routes including Brisbane-Los Angeles, Sydney-Dallas, Sydney-Santiago, Sydney-Los Angeles- New York, and Brisbane -Singapore.

Nope. The remainder are all 20+ years old and destined for the scrapheap over the next couple of years

OEB is only 15 and will be the last one to go I suspect.
