QF Final 747 flights - SYD, BNE & CBR

[JessicaTam]

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

Considering they are based on distance travelled from origin to destination I reckon approximately 0.

Well a final flight was flagged by @milehighclub in another thread a couple of weeks ago:

Apparently QF28 on its way back from Santiago is the last ever QF 747 flight

It's currently scheduled as a Boeing 787-9 service from April 2020. April 2021?

Presumably VH-OEJ, that had been due to fly SYD -LAX on 30/6?

Any idea on timings?

• Sydney: Monday July 13 10.15
• Brisbane: Wednesday July 15 10.15
• Canberra: Friday July 17 12.00

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

Since March 17th, every day is a ? day for me

Not happy Jan (from MEL)

Well, we are Covid free from SA and the only state we can leave from is Brisbane

Thank you. Well played.

I’d fly up to SYD for this!! Unless you are *cough* locked down

You have a cough? Nooooo.

The time hasn't been announced yet..

 

[bPeteb]

we’re off to Cairns, by train, on Brisbane’s day so we’ll be non-starters

Not a great time for my credit card, but I am interested.

Do you think they'll accept a gift voucher over the phone or online or is this likely to only be bookable with new money? Having previously flown the final 767 flight and the first LRE flight, I can't recall if anyone tried to use a voucher. I'm guessing this will sell out quickly though.

Throwing my hat in the ring for the CBR flight.

 

[samh004]

I read here that the flights were already bookable in the GDS, but no pricing was entered. Does this mean you could use a TA to reserve a seat and just pay tomorrow?

Expert Flyer doesn't allow seat map lookups as destination cannot be the same as the origin.

If the UD is blocked off, I'd be reluctant to book.

Looks like Expert Flyer doesn't recognise ZZF as an airport code, either.

The final flight of OEJ is 22 July ex SYD at 1400, might be worth some photo’s.

I can't find a more obvious thread on the actual final flight to leave Australia, but this thread is really more to do with the final special edition passenger services departing/arriving at 3 Australian cities next week

 

[dajop]

So looks like Melburnians wanting a last chance to fly a QF 747 won't be able to, unless they're willing to stump for a weeks accommodation in NSW

I couldn't either, but please feel free to share the details.

Probably too late by now isn't it? Or is there no forced quarantine before the border closes?
