Actually that just happened recently. On OZ201 it is normally a 3 class 747. However on Oct 2nd, 4th, and 8th the aircraft was 777. I believe the 777 was 2 class with QS seats, but not 100% sure.

Explanation? No idea really. Perhaps it was for scheduled maintenance, or to maximize seats for other routes due to Chuseok holiday?
