I have enjoyed several times the great service from PER-DPS on the QF75/76. For the past couple of yours it's had times perfect for connections to/from LHR and the service on board has been great. It's always been a 2-class 737 sold as one class, meaning as OW Emeralds/Sapphires we have been able to get the J seats at the front for the Y fare.

Booking ahead for later in the year, I see that the times and the Y fares are the same, but seating is restricted to rows 4 backwards. It looks like it is being sold as 2 class now, can anyone confirm.

Strange though, if you try and price it in J, it will only give a full J fare at around 10 times the Y price. I can't imagine there can be much demand at this price. Any idea how to get a more discounted business class fare?

Also, when looking on expertflyer, a lot of dates into early 2009 are showing zeroed out in JCDI, yet still showing an empty seat map for these flights in rows 1-3. Any idea why this is? Is business class definitely on sale on this route, and if so, why does it appear zeroed out?

Thanks in advance.
