As an Aussie based in Sydney I much prefer the afternoon departures to Dallas as a way to get to the west coast. Much shorter second flight and I like the more overnight first flight.
And I love all things a380.
Have only flown first on it once with Qantas. With my 8 year old son in tow (thanks Alaska miles back in the day -70k).
Great flight and I think the seats are underrated. Flight attendant denied my son a second Raisin Bran until he had “served everyone else in first class”. Classic Qantas.
Hi, Did this route on 30/5/2016 on my RTW#7, SYD d.1300 - DFW a.13:35+2, duration 15:35, (although we were 25m early). On A388 VH-OQI, Del Jan 2011, was stored over Covid, and then reconfigured, and now working normally again. They served Bundaberg rum in Economy. Still got my Boarding Card. Still the longest distance flight I've done. Cheers Ben.
Flying SYD-DFW arrival time would be the same day as departure, not +2. (The opposite direction is +2.)
"Flight attendant denied my son a second Raisin Bran until he had 'served everyone else in first class'. Classic Qantas." Maybe I misread this, but shouldn't a flight attendant deny seconds until everyone else gets an opportunity? Good lesson for a kid.
It seems they are keeping the MEL:DFW pairing (with 787). Since I'm far more likely to want MEL for final, that's great. (MEL is just better bang for $). Plus, if you're connecting, the connection at MEL is easier.
Ha yes that’s fair Dave.
More so he was quite rude about it and I doubt there’s a run on Raisin Bran with 14 first class seats and Bircher muesli, eggs Benedict, Belgian waffles etc on the menu. Noting Raisin Bran is stocked for the 50 business class seats too.
I fly BOS to DFW and then to SYD to visit family. Missed the A380 terribly. The B787 is a wonderful plane but the cabin height and aisle width advantage of the A380 is a game changer. Especially for those necessary aisle-walks mid-flight for leg circulation, etc. On the B787, the sleepers on the aisle seats take up all of the real estate. The A380 take offs and landings are practically imperceptible. While they're not making the bird any longer, it will certainly be around for years to come.
