Platy,
You do realise what advertising and promotion is about??
I assume EK, EY and SQ regularly run adverts of their older sloping business class products as well.
FYI. Refurb aircraft have made it to HNL, albeit certainly not regularly.
And it will all be complete (by my estimate) by Aug/Sep 2016...
Sadly, at this time, Qantas won't be able to say that all its international widebodies have fully flat beds in business (thanks to the decisions not to refurb, then subsequently retain for longer 747s VH-OEB and VH-OJM)
