Qantas surprisingly announced that it will bring the A380 to London in the coming months. A direct link from Sydney with a technical stopover in Singapore. The stopover is necessary because the giant of the skies is unable to fly nonstop from the east coast of Australia to the British capital.
The A380 fleet will be the one that is completely renovated before the pandemic and now gradually brought back into service.
What is special about Qantas' A380s is that all cabins have been completely renovated: from economy to first class. An investment of several tens of millions of dollars, and the only reason for the the company to not say goodbye to its A380 fleet.
We are talking about a ticket worth over 10,000 euros., round trip, but to spend more than 20 hours aboard the very luxurious and brand new first class cabin.
Granted, the cost is not the cheapest, but it is in line with the prices of similar tickets, like Singapore's first class or of Emirates. The uniqueness lies precisely in the possibility of Flying end-to-end without setting foot outside the A380 and enjoy 100% this unique experience.
In addition, there is an opportunity to accumulate a fair number of points in the Australian carrier's loyalty program, which participates in the OneWorld alliance and to also take advantage of the current promotion that gives double status points for all flights booked on the company's website by April 1.
This flight alone will accumulate as many as 1,680 qualifying points, more than enough to achieve Platinum status, which is equivalent to the Emerald level in OneWorld. You will also accumulate a total of 58,900 frequent flyer points that can be used to book an award ticket with any of the OneWorld companies.
