China Airlines upgrade Brisbane flights over summer

China Airlines will upgrade there three times weekly Taipei-Brisbane-Auckland service from Airbus A330-300s to Boeing 747-400s for three months. The airline will fly 747s to Brisbane between 28 November and 28 February 2014. They will operate 2-class 747s to Brisbane, China Airlines have 13 747s, I believe 6 of them are in a 2-class configuration. There are two of these aircraft in particular to look out for. B-18203 which is in a special livery for "Jimmy" (not sure what that is!) and B-18206 which is in Skyteam livery, however I do not know what configuration these two are in.

CI053 TPE2350 – 1045+1BNE1225+1 – 1840+1AKL 744 146
CI054 AKL2045 – 2125BNE2315 – 0600+1TPE 744 257
