Airlines have started to organise flights to nowhere, a safer way to fly during COVID19.
The flights will not land but simply fly by the popular spots and you will still go through checkout, safety procedures etc the whole thing that comes with usual travelling.
Those who are missing the whole process of travelling as in heading to airport, checking in, boarding, enjoying in flight meals and entertainment do not have to be disappointed anymore.
By now we all know how much airlines are suffering as a result of restrictions to fly. This is the new way of air carriers to generate revenue and people are loving it.
Recently, Qantas introduced flights to nowhere and announced that they will operate a special seven-hour scenic joy flight that will fly at 38,000 feet across the Northern Territory, Queensland and New South Wales to cater for frequent flyer members.
These “flights to nowhere” will depart from Sydney Airport on October 10 with 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 of course Sydney Harbour.
Its actually not a bad idea at all. You still get the whole flight experience and get to see the beautoful scenic views. The only thing is that you won’t be landing on ground so there are no issues of quanratine.
There were 150 seats listed for $787 for an economy seat, $1,787 for Premium and a few business class seats for $3,787.
“We knew this flight would be popular, but we didn’t expect it to sell out in 10 minutes,” a spokesperson said.
“It’s probably the fastest selling flight in Qantas history.”
