Qantas swaps Upcoming Flight A330 for A321XLR

I think CGK is given alongside DPS which could enable them to launch a third frequency from Sydney or even BNE.

I’m more interested to see where the new expansion will come from, ie Adelaide/Perth/Brisbane into Asia or Pacific. Melbourne and Sydney too far for me on a 321.

Was on QF39 a couple of days ago and the CSM apologised about the wear and tear on the aircraft and a few technical issues and commented that as soon as QF gets a few more A321’s then MEL-CGK would be swapped over permanently to them
From memory, the initial roll-out of QF A321's are only recliner not lie flat @jase05 ?
Am flying MEL- CGK on Sunday be interesting to see how (s)coughpy that 330 is.

The seats were comfy but just a bit tatty which is to be expected of something that has done the mileage.
The IFE had to be reset a couple of times which caused all units to be blank for a little bit several times. The one J loo is probably the biggest fault with it though.
