I know a lot of people thought 777 instead of A380, rather than 787.
But these things are not decided on promo trips. The rumour mill always tilts to the latest set of promoters in town, but in the airline/manufacturer world presentations and analysis are ongoing.
And hindsight is a wonderful thing.
Time was, QF had Concorde options.
