You're right. So on the main post, for BA there is no longer any First on LHR-GIG and the line relating to GIG-GRU needs to be dropped as well, although GRU <> EZE stays.

The timetables and GDS systems are still saying it's a 777, but that could clearly change. The first class service appears to be dropped from August 14th. onwards.

CX flights to Oz
 
AFAICS, CX First flights between HKG & MEL are only currently "some flights". These will cease at the end of January but restart end October.

There no longer appears to be any First on CX between HKG & SYD.

Edited to add:

You don't seem to be able to purchase First on CX just between MEL & ADL, but CX105/104 provides First between HKG & ADL (via MEL) in the Northern winter (i.e. not between end-Jan & end-Oct 2009.)

Great info Kiwi Flyer. Some amendments:
  • JL offers F NRT-DEL
  • LA now only offers F on its SCL-MAD/FRA route, so SYD/AKL-SCL should be removed from the current list

For AA, add: DFW-GRU and MIA-MAD

It looks as though F has gone from SCL-MAD now that LA has completed, or is close to completing, the refurb of the A340s.
It's getting harder and harder to justify AONEx over DONEx.

Happy Travels.

Yeah, seems like in the not-too-distant future it will only make sense with an all-hub itinerary like LHR-MIA-EZE-SYD-NRT-HKG-LHR.

The upside is that the J products are getting better and better over time across OW, no? Hope so because I'm planning an RTW OW130C for 2010.

Amend Johannesburg: JNB now has year-round F service, with the 346 in NH summer and back to the 744 in NH winter (unsure what will happen in NH summer 09 when the 346's are returned)

Amendment to the Amendment: JNB has year-round F service sort of. Currently served by 343s every day, with F only on the Tuesday outbound from HKG and the Wednesday return from JNB (same aircraft, obviously). NH winter 2008-2009 saw 744 service 3-4 times/week (I can't remember exactly), with no F service on the remaining (343) days.

In addition, ORD-DME should be removed.

CX HKG-BOM can be removed again :(
CX HKG-BKK should be (some flights) [less than 1 per day]

BA LHR-CPT is now some flights too.

The seasonal flights BA42/43 won't have F this (southern hemisphere) summer.

Thanks everyone. OP is updated to here.
