As far as I know, there is no F on JJ flights from GIG to either JFK or MIA; there is no JJ flight from GIG to LHR. The only oneworld flight with F that I can think of is BA to LHR. Maybe during the World Cup ....

Presumably we should add
SYD-DFW (from 29 Sep)
And QF still have two 747s with F (albeit going quickly) - just OEB, OJM with F, and OJA/ OJI the non-refurbs with old J. The F planes seem to be mostly doing Joburg and Tokyo flights (though not sold as such)
