Qantas "Good Friday" Charity Flight

On Friday, as its a public holiday in Melb, the annual "Qantas Good Friday" Flight will occur. We still go to BNE for the day, and up to the Australia Zoo, then home.

What I was questioning, is that the Plane is a QF 767, but which rego??
Is there a spare 767 that is available for the whole day on Friday
As its a early flight (8am), a overnighter 767 then mabye???, departing DOMESTIC 1

Really appreciate feedback guys!

(I will be on this flight by the way!)

It is pretty safe to say that it is a public holiday in every state and territory in Australia...

You might like to read up on the purpose of the flights...they aren't because its a public holiday or because its good friday...the flights are run in conjunction with the Royal Childrens Hospital good friday appeal...all proceeds go towards the appeal

Excellent news Nige!

I'm happy to report I will be paid double time and a half now that Nigel has confirmed it is a public holiday in Sydney! Oh wait, Nige, does that apply to Wollongong as well?

Will this be operated by the same aircraft or will they send it elsewhere.
