The A350 does not have a first class cabin. People are talking about the 747 which is temporarily servicing MEL during October only.

Is the bird flying again yet? Nothing on flight aware or flight radar which both show it's last flight as BKK-HKT on the 21/09.

It must be getting close to the delivery of the second A350 as well.

Europe before MEL at this point:

I am a little suspicious of the claim that the Aussie authorities said they were "unfamiliar" with the aircraft type given that QR and SQ already operate it to Australia.

May never fly to MEL... I would not be surprised...

BTW, the second A350 was delivered to TG and has been doing some domestic rotations already.

So many flights have had seating reassigned to the new a350, so now we have to be assigned back to the old planes? urgh. Wonder when this will happen?

Oh and horrible reporting. Saying no airline has operated the plane to Australia. Utter BS.
