When will schedules be out?
I agree with serfty in this. Putting an A380 on one of the SYD/LAX run would probably be too much capacity initially. I think QF are happy with the 3xdaily service with the 747's ,not forgetting the SFO service.
It's my guess that QF11/12 will be the first SYD service with the A380 once they have enough of them.

Singapore Airlines have only just announced their A380 flight schedules for SIN-LHR with the first flight being the 18-March. I think it will be awhile before we see a flight schedule released from Qantas.
I would still expect the first QF A380 flight to be sometime in August so I wouldn't expect to hear an announcement until June at the earliest.

Well I have just managed to grab 2 x business class award tickets for QF93 MEL-LAX in late January 09.
Wondering if QF will add Premium Economy Award tickets once they load the A380 in the system
Hoping it's the A380 !

Yeah, but as per the gist of moa999's post, in a year or two, SQ would have quite a few more A380 available at SIN making the option of an aircraft swap rather than an equipment change more possible.

First A380 (OQA) a/c due SYD around second week of AUG.
Expect to see her zipping around the Eastcoast for most of SEP, before entering service when the second A380 arrives in OCT to ops MEL-LAX-MEL 2 x pw, and SYD-LAX-SYD 3 x pw.
Oh, and don't be suprised if an Emirates A380 is floating around Oz at the same time!

I was under the impression that the first 2 A380's would be dedicated to the MEL-LAX-MEL route due to cargo and passenger loads on this long route.
Hmmm hopefully she is put on a few domestic flights (from the Int Terminal) and I can try her out though.
Really hoping my flight in late Jan (MEL-LAX) is on the A380
