You are gambling with unknown factors and whilst it may pay off the most likely scenario this far in advance is disappointment.
Over the last eighteen months there have been several hundred postings to the effect that "Never book flights based on aircraft type. You may be disappointed" That now holds true for Qsuites.
Thanks for the welcome. I was toying with either the A380 flight (I've never flown QR's one!) for the bar or the 77W for the Qsuite. As I'm in flex J I'll take the punt on QR7 and switch to QR9 on the day if needed. QR's product is fabulous but they are having the same issues EK did 5 years ago of the fleet being maddeningly inconsistent during a period of both product and aircraft enhancement
