Maybe they're going to run some test flights?

I have a free upgrade available with my gold membership. Not sure if I should use it for this round trip, or wait until there's more certainty. I think my upgrade expires in March 2017. My birthday is December, so I think I can use another upgrade then too.
No test flights without CASA approval. AFAIK, they do not have the approval so no flying A350 to Australia, full stop. TG is playing roulette with their customers.
