Qantas Centenary

[Bazzi]

Does anyone know of any plans QF may have to celebrate their Centenary on Nov 16? After the success of the recent ‘joy’ flight, I was hoping they might offer another on Nov 16.

I thought that it was such a success that they would have had more of them in the air by now...

Maybe they could issue bag tags?

No doubt Qantas had huge plans for the centenary but now I reckon NPPP and make-your-own toasties with mothballed sandwiches from the lounges in a hangar might be as good as it gets. BYO booze.

The Qantas Founders Outback Museum in Longreach is planning a celebration to mark the day.

It’s all a bit depressing for a birthday party.

Someone mentioned toast(ie), this beauty is kept in a locked room at QF mascot, Purported to be the first ever toaster on an aircraft and made to suit the QF Chairman of the day.

How many points for it?

Maybe scenic flights no longer required after the cash injection of selling all the old 747 Bar Carts and $150 T-Shirts ✈

Current aircraft toasters retail for $25,000 give or take so use that as a guide

I can think of better ways to spend 5 million points!

Yep, got a seat on that. Looking forward to it.

Happy Birthday Qantas! (although it's another hour to go in Queensland where it all began)

Proud to say it was a quarter of a century ago when I first started flying with you...

My first QF was in 1979 PER-SIN. My first time outside of Australia! Have had too many QF flights since then to remember. Happy Birthday QANTAS!

I never thought I'd end up flying JQ more than QF in the centennial year.
