A Flight To Nowhere Sells Out Within Ten Minutes
Airline companies have been getting creative due to the decline in travel because of COVID-19. A seven-hour long flight to nowhere is being hosted by Australian airline Qantas. Tickets to the flight sold out within ten minutes of becoming available, according to CNN.
The airline hopes to appeal to those who miss traveling during the pandemic. The flight includes scenic flyovers and onboard entertainment within its seven-hour loop. Ticket prices range from $566 to $2,734.
Qantas CEO Alan Joyce told CNN, “People clearly miss travel and the experience of flying. If the demand is there, we’ll definitely look at doing more of these scenic flights while we all wait for borders to open.”
The flight is set to depart from the Sydney Domestic Airport on October 10th.
