HKG-LHR should get the new J on BA, which helps. Quite an achievement to get this booked, in any case.
Looking at the timetable the morning QF flight seems to be a normal Qantas flight operated with a 763. The evening flight , on days it runs, seems to be Qantas with a 73H. The morning flight hopefully will have dreamtime seats

This is to change in March with the morning Flight to be operated by a 73H (instead of a 763) and the jetconnect flight frequency increased to daily.
I found out via ExpertFlyer when checking the seat maps for one of my bookings. More here:
Qantas are replacing 763's ....
The one aircraft generally operates (on a daily basis) AKL-BNE(QF116), BNE-AKL(QF115),AKL-MEL(QF134) & MEL-AKL(QF39).
Also since QF25/QF26 changed routing from BNE to MEL, the 763's running that routing have normally been of a
domestic configuration with the '
Millenium' seating in J.
