Shame it wasn't QF7/8
Was never going to go back to an A380 with the 100 seat block in economy given the demand for flights right nowShame it wasn't QF7/8
With that being said, what does surprise me is why QF chose JNB for the A380. It doesn't seem to warrant such a jet given its flight length.

@justinbrett You beat me to it! In fact, I expect they’ll do a more efficient route flying further south? Loved the views of Antartica on the B747 to/from JNB, EZE and SCL at various times.Why? It's a perfect length - similar to SIN-LHR. And having four engines means they don't have to worry about ETOPS.
They look like they sit out away from side of the plane. Might also be exit rows?Long gone.
Row 79 have 2s
Well, at least 1st seats. They used have the old B747 1st cabin on the various JNB/EZE/SCL routes but 1st not sold (but WP could select those seats).Presumably this will mean First Class becomes available to South Africa. Flights are due to go on sale tomorrow.

But maybe they will sell it on this route? Guess we’ll find out tomorrow?
But cargo fire suppression becomes an issue.Why? It's a perfect length - similar to SIN-LHR. And having four engines means they don't have to worry about ETOPS.
Qantas has announced that it will put an Airbus A380 onto the Sydney-Johannesburg route from July 2024.

Time to re-introduce Perth to Johannesburg.
