Are you saying they will prevent me from flying on my existing A booking?

Frankly I think QF is just going practise ordinary revenue management on the A380: i.e. wait and see how the R and F (there is still F) sells. If after the first flurry of curiosity the demand is weak we will see A seats return. A number of factors make me optimistic:

• the new product doesn't seem to be in a whole new class the way that the SQ (and CX, which aren't marketed as R) suites are; they have a significantly smaller footprint (it looks to be only 3/4 the size of the SQ suite)
• some people may prefer the alternative scheduling anyway
• people may not want to divvy up if they can't be guaranteed the new product
• there are other viable alternatives, especially on the routes to SE Asia, and folks might avoid QF entirely rather than pay for R

If I am wrong and QF finds that they can consistently sustain sufficient demand in R and F, then good on them and I would expect them to black out A availability despite our bleating. Time will tell.
