QF Final 747 flights - SYD, BNE & CBR

So it looks like QF will give the 747 a send off rather than letting it just vanish into the night..

Fingers crossed I can get a seat.. lockdowns permitting!

Get ready to make your fond farewell to the Qantas Boeing 747, because these scenic joyflights will sell out fast!

What a bummer they're all taking place on weekdays!

It looks like Melbourne is missing out.

Given how much ID checking that's going on for QLD Intra State flights right now and some of the photos of temperature checks at Sydney airport, I suspect they won't even allow people from Melbourne to book these.

Totes keen for this !!!!
We should start an event thread if we are lucky enough to get tickets !!!

Ill be login on to see if I can get 2 x J from Sydney but dont like my chances.

Wonder if they will do more of them if they are so popular and we can do a group booking?

Agreed. Or drive to CBR.

 

[Lat34]

I'm definitely going to (try) booking J for SYD flight with Mr Lat34 probably coming along too. Failing that, CBR is also possible - get a few SCs SYD-CBR-SYD while I can
I can still recall watching that first 747 circle over the harbour from my North Sydney school.
It took me MANY years to even board this majestic aircraft.

 

[OZDUCK]

What me makes me a bit sad is that when working I have been onboard probably more than 40 747's from airlines like QANTAS, South African Airways, Lufthansa Cargo and British Airways. But I never got to fly in one.

 

[justinbrett]

Tempted to do CBR as that will be the last QF 747 flight accepting pax.

 

[AIRwin]

If only QF scheduled the BNE farewell flight on 12 July when the new runway opens...

 

[justinbrett]

So... how many SCs are we talking?

 

[serfty]

Any idea on timings?

Any idea on timings?

Tuesday

So... how many SCs are we talking?

SCs should be either 7x or 4x distance depending on ticket
(I know charter flights are "different" but this is truly "special" )
