Routeing the other way it ops via HNL as a Tech Stop for fuel. Given less than favoureable winds/weather conditions a Tech Stop on the SYD-YVR leg is not out of the question on the A340-300.

They’re using them to Asia, a far more profitable route. However, maybe when they get a few more they will. Australia is seasonal, Asia is year round (Business).

I would have at least expected them to use one of their new A340’s.
