Qantas passengers will be allowed to experience a "flight to nowhere" in a trend that is becoming popular post-lockdown.
Next month, the Australian airline will operate a special seven-hour scenic joy flight that will soar across the Northern Territory, Queensland and New South Wales to cater for frequent flyer members desperate to experience life at 38,000 feet.
Dubbed the "Great Southern Land" scenic flight, passengers will board the airline's famed "Emily" Boeing 787 Dreamliner, which is normally reserved for international flying.
Departing from Sydney Airport on October 10, the flight will take 150 passengers on a low-level fly-by journey of some of Australia's most iconic landmarks including Uluru, Kata Tjuta, the Whitsundays, Gold Coast, Byron Bay and Sydney Harbour.
Oh, and you won't go hungry; passengers will dine on a specially curated Neil Perry menu.
Tickets – which weren't going cheap – sold out within 10 minutes of going sale.
Travel blogger Megan Singleton joined Francesca Rudkin to discuss the growing trend.
