Qantas starts international wifi

Thanks all - I guess the “select” line is the accurate one.

Some change to the wording on the QF Internet page.

A333s now.

• All A330-300 aircraft, with A330-300Y aircraft being enabled

My presumption would be that this means VH-QPM (which enters service today) might be done, and the other two leased ex-AY aircraft will follow.
But it's also incorrect about QPA-QPD (noting QPB currently in maintenance)

The A330-300Y refers to the Finnair aircraft.

so only a380 left on the international flights to be done ?

And the handful of A330’s that are supposedly being retired shortly that won’t see any upgrade. Shortly being the operative word…

Inconsistent with what's on the QF website, and per above don't believe it correct.

737s - the 4 ex-SQ aircraft XZQ-XZT don't have a hump
333s - the 4 oldest QPA-QPD don't have humps (QPB currently in maintenance) and there have been some staff suggestions that they won't get it and will be retired.
The 2 dry leased AY aircraft QPK, QPL have a hump but aren't connected (possibly wrong aerial type) and we don't know about recently acquired QPM. The QF website suggests these 'Y' aircraft will get Wifi soon.
