The Qantas story begins with fragile biplanes carrying one or two passengers in open cockpits and progresses to the latest Airbus 380s flying over 450 people half way around the world in a day. In that time Qantas has become widely regarded as the world’s leading long distance airline.

Qantas operate 28 services every week from the UK to Australia, with daily flights to Hong Kong and Bangkok and a twice daily service to Singapore.

Being the national carrier, Qantas cover more of Australia than any other airline giving you access to more than 50 different Australian destinations.

Qantas is very excited to now have the new A380 as part of its fleet of aircraft.

The A380 is the largest and most technologically advanced passenger aircraft ever built. In working with renowned Australian industrial designer Marc Newson, Qantas has created a superbly functional, stylish and comfortable cabin environment that is truly remarkable.

Qantas took delivery of the first of its twenty A380s on the 19th of September 2008 in Toulouse with the first commercial flight taking place on the 20th October from Melbourne to Los Angeles. The first flight out of the UK is currently scheduled to depart for Sydney via Singapore in mid January 2009. Initially the A380 is scheduled to fly three times a week from London via Singapore to Sydney.

Qantas International Premium Economy onboard the new A380 offers a new choice in travel, providing space and comfort in the privacy of a dedicated upper deck cabin. Be delighted with the experience.
