Qantas 737 Refurbishment tracker

[JessicaTam]

I was on my first refurb yesterday with the perspex 'divider'. No deterrent for pax to head forward.

I've been on several 737 flights this week - always in Row 4; always old configs (with curtain) and on all of them the curtain was wide open all flight. So I am coming to this conclusion too.

I have been told John Borghetti over at Virgin likes the transparent screen with no curtain so economy pax can see into business class. He thinks it helps them sell more seats in business.
Perhaps QF has now adopted the same approach?

Personally I think it degrades the quality of the experience for those already paying to fly in the business cabin.
Besides, every passenger boarding a 737 through the front door has to walk through the J cabin.

Is or will there be a second 737 in Brisbane maintenance replacing VH-VYA?

I haven't noticed one yet, but VYB going to SIN for paint they might revert to one at a time

 

[Christopher Campbell]

Yeah that's true

 

[moa999]

VH-VZY out of BNE yesterday making #25, and the 2nd with PIFE.
VXB out any day so will wait for update

 

[Christopher Campbell]

Looks like VH-VXH is now in refurb in Brisbane. It entered late evening of the 23rd March.

 

[moa999]

Query if VXH will be in for a check as well like VXC,VXD,VXE

 

[BenAlexander]

Sorry if this is a silly question... Is there a way to see what aircraft registration is planned to complete a sector on a specific date in the future?

I have a 737 flight coming up and wondering if it is worth bumping up to J.

Unless you are in the know the answer is no.
