The 7-Hour ‘Flight To NOWHERE’ Sold Out In 10 Minutes
This head-scratcher has taken over the internet.
Aussie airline Qantas is selling a seven-hour ‘flight to nowhere’, ‘for people who missed flying’… And people are snapping it right up!
On October 10, the flight will do an Aussie tour, looping around Queensland and the Gold Coast, and will feature low flyovers over the Great Barrier Reef and Sydney Harbour.
The entire journey costs between AED2000 and AED9,900 per person, depending on if you want to travel business class, first or economy. 134 tickets went on sale and, surprisingly it actually sold out in 10 minutes!

It DOES seem like strange timing
This is hilarious! So many people are dying to get a flight to be with their families & Qantas is selling flights to ‘NOWHERE’. Dear PM @ScottMorrisonMP How about asking them to start repatriation flights? @AusBorderForce @AlanTudgeMP @PeterDutton_MP #LoveIsNotTourism @KKeneally pic.twitter.com/CFngigw5bs
