?Possible Routings for New A330 Business Class Seats

[im.daniel]

Was looking for flights from SYD-PER for redemption in May '15; and noticed that for every day searched (May 01 - 15); QF 575 and 583 had no J seats for redemption. I know from previous history that QF 583 usually has heaps of J seats for redemption, compared to the more popular QF 571 that leaves 2 hours prior.

Curious, I searched PER-SYD for J seats, and lo and behold; QF 568 (dep: 0005) and QF 580 (dep: 1220) also have no J seats for redemption on the same days searched.

Based on this;
QF 583 arrives in PER at 2200ish and I presume leaves at 0005 as QF 568
QF 575 arrives in PER at 1000ish, most likely turning around as QF 580 at 1220

**Also, makes sense to have a flat-bed service on the red-eye service.

Call me delusional ... but is something fishy is going on here? (apologies if this has been brought up already)

Fingers crossed this works out, might make me stay using QF

If those happen to be the flights with the New J seats, QF are blocking award inventory in advance then, no?
