[Australian Net Wang Yuqing compiled and reported on October 29] The "purposeless flight" previously launched by Qantas has been greatly welcomed. The "purposeless flight" ticket was sold out within 10 minutes of its release, becoming the fastest-selling flight in Qantas' history. In response, Qantas will launch a new "air sightseeing flight" "while the iron is hot". The Seventh News reported on the 28th that Qantas CEO Alan Joyce said that Qantas was caught off guard by the popularity of "purposeless flights" at the beginning. He said that as the country's borders gradually open up, the concept of tourist flights will gradually evolve into overnight stays at iconic attractions in Australia, etc. Joyce said in a statement: "Now that more and more borders are open, we are working with local tourism operators to provide special flights to specific destinations."
It is reported that the first "air sightseeing flight" will take off from Sydney Airport to the Northern Territory at 8 am on Saturday, December 5, and the return time will be on December 6 (Sunday). The overnight flight will include a low-altitude flight over Sydney Harbour, Uluru and Kata Tjuta, and will eventually be at Sails in The Desert, the top hotel in Ayers Rock Resort. In addition, travelers on the flight will be able to visit an Indigenous craft studio and participate in a light night event, which includes a dinner of three dishes, a digiridu performance and Indigenous explanations of the night sky. The next day, tourists walked to Muṯitjulu Water Cave and Katajuta with a guide.
This flight will provide 110 seats, the business class ticket price is RMB 3,999 per person, the accommodation is shared by two people, and the economy class ticket price is RMB 2,499 per person. Ticket bookings will be available on Qantas’ official website at 15:00 p.m. on the 29th.
