Best Flights were part of a select group invited by Qantas Airlines to board and
tour the Qantas A380 in its inaugural landing at Perth, Western Australia. The
actual size of the aircraft is amazing. Qantas have certainly pulled out all stops
on this spectacular double decker. It is a clean new look from Qantas, with
everything from seat back televisions to self service snack bars in economy class to
the luxurious suites 18 inch LCD screens and full seat massage facilities in first
class. Call centre operations manager Daryl Calder commented on the immensity of the
flying giant that is the Qantas A380 which is valued at over $300 million to build.

The A380 is designed with 14 private single suites in the first class section which
will cost passengers $22,000 a seat. Not the sort of tickets that you sell many of
commented Daryl Calder, who welcomed the addition of the A380 to the Qantas fleet as
he sees it increasing capacity demands for the London route.

Measuring in at 73 metres in length, the A380 will commence commercial operations in
Australia from Melbourne to Los Angeles as of October 20. This giant of an aeroplane
is destined to replace the previous Qantas stable of Boeing 747-400s. October marks
the start of the Australian early bird flight and coach tours season for travel
agencies with advanced bookings at heavily discounted rates. Best Flights has
traditionally set the bench mark for early bird advanced travel sales in Australia
and is expecting a lot of interest this year regardless of the pending economic
times.
