VH-VZT is in sydney maintenance for refurb. It has not flown since QF460 Melbourne-Sydney on Thursday evening.

VH-VZV also looks to have entered Brisbane M for refurb this morning.

Correct on VZT, not on VZV it seems.
Both VYB and VXF also well beyond my estimated dates

Also VXR (the first refurb) has been under maint in BNE since 9/6 according to theqantassource.com

VH-XZM BNE - In 19/6/16 Exp 5/7

VYC/VZV possible candidates for next in SYD having not operated since arriving on Fri night, although its hard to tell on weekends
 
Well not VYC. After sitting around in SYD all weekend its off on QF567 SYD-PER --- a very poor choice imho to put one of the three non-IFE aircraft on a SYD-PER route
VZV still a potential refurb candidate.

I am guessing VXM,VXN,VYC must all be due for maint check in the coming months so they are holding off on the refurb until the check is actually due.

Edit.
VXN hasn't flown since arriving in BNE on Sun 26/6 evening so also a possible candidate

XZO returned to service earlier this afternoon operating QF435 to MEL. This makes refurb #46
 
7 days on XZO. SYD is getting quick.
A weekend, so likely have to wait until Monday to work out what's next.
VYB continues to surprise me - been in BNE for almost 6wks (already a refurb)

Edit: VYC remains active over Saturday

After today we can say that VH-XZA is definitely in for refurb in Brisbane. It hasn't flown since arriving into Brisbane yesterday evening from Darwin.

Some other possible candidates in Brisbane to look out for tomorrow are VH-VZM, VH-VXS, VH-XZJ
 
I'd say VH-VXS is in for general maint having arrived 11/7, already had its refurb in SYD, but a number of these aircraft have had a subsequent check in BNE
Agree that XZA looks like a refurb candidate.

Possibly one more as BNE typically has three aircraft at a time.

Oh yeah VXS is already refurbished. I forgot to delete it off my list of to be refurbished 737s. And I must have misread the date somehow when the date it had arrived into Brisbane M.
