Does anyone know when they will fly the A330neo to Sydney?

I think it's a little variable at the moment and some pot luck. I saw one the other day when flying out of SYD on May 30.

Yep, seems inconsistent. My mum got swapped to the 339 around 25 hours before departure on the overnight to SYD.

Being completed out of order, it seems. MNK has line number 2097, whereas MNJ is 2092.
MNJ is under test registration F-WWCY.
