Is the 747 used on this route for this date one with the upgraded Business Class skybed or is it still the older version?

Thanks for your help.

Hello Trent and welcome to the Qantas Forum!

Around the 16th December the last 747-400 [the infamous VH-OJH] goes down to Avalon Airport for its upgrade from 2-Class Dreamtime to Skybed. However -OJH will convert to 3-Class with First and Skybed. The 744 undergoing the upgrade currently [VH-OJE] will come out around this date and will start ops. almost straight away.

So you are guaranteed to have Skybed on your flight as the only plane without Skybed will not be in service.

Hi Maca44,

ExpertFlyer is correct! However as there is only one aircraft yet to upgrade, once mid-December comes, Skybed will be available on all 744 operated routes.

Enjoy the Skybed Trent and I hope that answers your question. If you need anymore help don't hesitate to ask.
