Qantas' New A321XLR

Me too actually, my SYD-PER shows no 35ABC with a toilet in it's place

My flight in May from MEL-SYD now shows the same. Wonder if it's the default now for all A321N flights regardless of the true loo situation?

Maybe a sign the first 3 A321XLRs may be refitted with an extra bathroom sometime this year?

More likely they're not going to be assigning OGA - OGC on transcon as OGD onwards gets delivered.

I'm in Yangon, Myanmar. All going well, I'll be able to pick this up with the ADS-B receiver I've got on my rooftop here (which also feeds in to Flightradar24, Flight Aware, etc.)
VH-OGD track should have it over head of me around an hour before arrival to Bangkok. Let's see.

An aside, Myanmar; cool.

Breaking from Qantas FB Page - XLR will be flying International soon.

I hope either they are breaking up QF72/73 for 2x XLR daily or deploying into QF45/46.

It'll just be Auckland or something ex Sydney.

I expect PER-SIN to go double-daily XLR at some point (to free up the A330 for retirement / longer range flights) but hopefully not until they get deliveries with the flat bed J. I know they've run a 737 on it before and it's only a five hour flight, but I'm not sure how they think they can compete with 4x daily SQ with a better J product.

Have QF maxed out their seat allocation on flights to DPS under the bilateral? Would that mean that if they put a XLR on the route they'd have to reduce frequency/capacity elsewhere?

OGD also has a curtain between Y and J, in addition to the third toilet in Y.
