Why not keep it daily and use the 747 once a week?
Where are the 2 freed up 747s going? Just to cover an earlier retirement of 2 older 744s?
Why are they dropping the BNE QF8 stop? Just because a 388 can do DFW-SYD, shouldn't mean they have to drop the stop. Lots of people have been getting off QF8 in BNE and connecting to other flights there instead of going through SYD...
The face sheet on this suggests other routes are getting retimed. Any details as to which ones? The press release mentions the QF9/10 MEL and LHR depart times and the DXB/LHR/MEL arrive times. Anyone seen the DXB depart times?
There is a video on Youtube announcing the DFW change.

They use VH-O
QF for the photo op...
Just coincidence, or preplanned?
