QF95 MEL-LAX cancelled today (Dec 13). Impact on QF96 LAX-MEL?
As a part of my pre-vacation anxiety today, I was on Flightradar24 looking for the 787 that is supposed to take my wife and I from LAX to MEL on QF96 tonight (13 December). It looks like QF95 (MEL-LAX) is usually the 787 that turns around at LAX and returns to MEL.
That flight (QF95, MEL-LAX, 13 December) was cancelled.
I'm concerned that QF no longer has an airplane at LAX to take us to MEL. FR24 says that there are only 2 Qantas A380s on the ground at LAX, with a 3rd A380 (QF17) arriving in about 2 hours. Is QF12 (a 787 flying from JFK-LAX this evening) actually our plane? It looks like that usually continues on from LAX to BNE.
We are in NYC and will fly AA302 from JFK to LAX this evening with scheduled arrival at LAX at 10pm. Our whole itinerary is booked with AA. I haven't heard anything from them. Qantas, AA, and Expertflyer all say QF96 is "scheduled" and on time. Is there anything I can do now to get ahead of any problems...if we even have any problems?

QF staff at LAX are quite expert at dealing with these kind of problems at LAX and do a terrific job of getting the maximum number of pax to Oz. Having a pool of planes and flights each day, plus a major maintenance base at LAX, makes for a lot of flexibility unlike some other cities/airlines which have a single plane or service. No reason to worry ahead of time.
