this is also shown for routes, where they have in more then 99 out of 100 flights a 777-300ER...seems confusing

Sounds like I should not be getting my hopes up for even next March...777-300ER, 787, or 350 would be great!

They appear to have been operating the 777-300ER on the daytime BKK-MEL flight recently also. I hope this remains the case.

Per airlineroute it's only for the rest of this month. Then changes to a 777-200.

I know there was plans to refit the 777-200s to fully flat beds and 1-2-1 this year; I'm hoping that's what they've been doing throughout Sept/Oct. Not holding my breath though.

I notice they are saying TG 461/462 going to A350 is contingent on the deliveries. Hope they aren't setting up to put the 772 on it through the spring...would really like to see it come on Feb. 1 as scheduled.
