Interesting ad in Perth

In Perth there is an advertisement running (e.g. The West Australian Sep 26, page 7), that says:

The East Coast via "Hollywood"

If you fly to Sydney or Melbourne between 5 September and 27 October 2005, you'll be flying on one of our 747-300's. That means every seat has its own personal screen for you to enjoy. Our award-winning inflight entertainment offers you 12 video channels, including seven different movies.
Now to me, that sounds like every flight is a 747-300, but if you search through the timetable you find all sorts of equipment being used 734, 73H, 767, 332, 333 and the odd (and these flights are very few in number) 743.

Anyone have any idea just what this ad is about? Best I can tell its just a crock.

there's definately a better way to word that as to me that shouts out "fly on our 20yr old aircraft, wait longer to board".

QF ads

It reminds me of the advertisements they used to run for Qantas Club a few years ago that started with "Peace". I believe they had to pull them when someone complained to the ACCC that the ads were misleading because at times - especially on weekends - the place resembled little more than a creche
