Qantas Airways Offers a Flight to Nowhere for People Who Miss Flying
A one-off scenic flight for travel buffs
Qantas Airways has come to the rescue of Aussies who are sick of being locked at home and miss the flying experience. The company will soon initiate a flight to nowhere from Sydney to let people enjoy the scenic views of NSW, Queensland, and the Northern Territory. People who are on board will get to travel on a Boeing 878 Dreamliner which is usually reserved for long international routes. It has the biggest windows on any passenger aircraft.
The flight to nowhere will depart from Sydney, fly over New South Wales coastline, and cross the border with Queensland. Passengers can enjoy flybys of the Gold Coast and Byron Bay. The flight will then continue over the Great Barrier Reef and track across two more flybys Kata Tjuta and Uluru. After that, the flight will head back to Sydney and passengers can enjoy a sunset flyover Bondi Beach and Sydney Harbour.
This entire journey planned by Qantas will take just 7 hours and offer the amazing 38,000 experience to the customers. Qantas is also luring flyers will interesting offerings like pre-flight breakfast, lunch menu designed by Neil Perry, commemorative flight certificate, surprise celebrity host MC and entertainment, a gift bag, and several other lucrative add-ons.
Qantas will offer only six business class tickets, 104 economy tickets and 24 premium economy tickets. The flight to nowhere will depart from T3 of Sydney Domestic Airport on Saturday, 10th October and the tickets are on sale from 12 PM AEST today.
Talking about the flight to nowhere, the CEO of Qantas, Alan Joyce said “Australia is a great land and home to unique wonders like Uluru and the Whitsundays, so we know that it will be truly special to experience this beautiful country from the comfort and freedom of the sky. This flight, and possibly more like it, means work for our people, who are more enthusiastic than anyone to see aircraft back in the sky.”
To ensure compliance with company protocol, each of the guests on the flight to nowhere by Qantas will need to wear face masks, use sanitizers, and not move about the cabin. As international travel won’t be recover until 2024, this flight is the only option for people who miss flying and crave sitting in an aeroplane.
