Qantas First Class - what routes?
Been looking at First Class flights from Hong Kong and the west coast of the US to either Melbourne or Sydney next year and only seem to be getting offered Business class.
Sure I read something about them dropping First on some routes of cutting back, so is there a definitive list of what routings still have it?
Added: Did find something about pretty much everything to Sydney being 3 class now although did find 1 flight with first class, the other 20? business or below.

Most routes are daily but some are not. For example SYD-HKG has A380 F 4x weekly, and 747 F 3x weekly, for at least one iteration of the timetable -- be sure to check multiple days of week if you don't find F on a particular route. Some would consider 747 F to be J equivalent and a disappointment on this route. Sometimes there are also one-off substitutions (aircraft substitution in the timetable for a specific date, often with a change in departure time, which seems to be a QF specialty). Finally it sounds like you are looking for awards, and those are blacked out on certain dates unless you have WP status but may be released closer to the travel date.

I am booked on qf107 to lax and JFK next week. It's showing as an A380 with F availability. Is this right given the post above?
