  • Qantas is getting a “spare” A380

    Nov 26, 2025, 12:32 PM

    Looking at the Qantas timetable next October and November, it looks like a A380 will be used on QF 81 and 82 from Sydney to Singapore which I think is not happening this year.  So, I guess the spare plane will only be for a little while and then they will all be working hard. If the pla...

  • On the Qantas A380, just in front of row 1 is a huge area by the doors to walk around and settle any child and not disturb people too much . We also have had tremendous crews with Qantas and I am sure they will help you . I also feel for the parents and offer them as much support as possible....

  • I agree and it is a bit Geeky, but it is so much fun, watch your flight on Flight Radar 24. I do avoid my work email especially on the flight home . I like the 747SP as it flew a little higher and a little faster than the 747 .
