For all those changing flights, I received some information that there may be yet further changes on the SYD situation, I have no idea what they are but I was told give it another week.

OZ uses an awful product ICN-SYD, a TG 77W would be vastly superior in hard product terms.

What "MAY" be the other changes? It's gone for a 3 class to a 2 class mix of planes. It's not like TG is going to honor old F award tix that are now in J.

"Awful"? Not any more - new interior planes, according to the Asiana website.
I just booked SYD-ICN-PEK both wys as did not want to take a chance on TG.
Anyway hope they re-consider SYD aircraft to go back to 3 cabin, as per posts above.

No lie-flat Quadra Smartium seats.

Seriously? You think they are going to make an announcement that has a major ripple effect through existing bookings, schedules, etc only to then nix it and then bring it back 2 months later? I know this is TG but c'mon dude...it's like a gate agent who mentioned how when a flight is cancelled there are so many pax who still sit and wait around and argue at the gate as though it's going to change something rather than get on the phone/to the lounge/somewhere to start adjusting plans.

I would still expect the 2-3-2 angle and be VERY pleasantly surprised if you get a QuadraSmartium. I've just never known them to have any of those planes on the OZ flights to Oz.
