A friend of mine used the price beat on the return flight a few days ago.

I also noticed the return flight from OOL was well up past $400.

The next day's flight to Cairns was $179 when I purchased it. I upgraded to Biz class for $26 extra, and used the POLi payment method to avoid credit card fees.

I'm not flying the return on the 787, because I wanna try this "spotting from up a mountain" thing at Cairns, and watch the 787 actually take off, so I'll be returning later that day.

I always find it interesting to see who is listed as the aircraft owner. Now I know it is all about how their finance is structured, but with most Qantas/Jetstar a/c they are owned by leasing companies clearly owned by Qantas, sometimes Qantas direct and other times real leasing companies or offshore shelf companies. VKA being a case in point as it is listed as owned by a Japanese company calledSL JURA CO. LTD.

You guys on the first flights will be in for a real treat! I was on the proving flights over the last 2 days, out beat my expectations.

They normally switch to leasing companies after they are delivered.

VA does the same.

Does anyone know why VKA diverted to the Gold Coast from Melbourne on the 30/10 ?

Just part of the proving flights (training exercise)

Hi All,

Whats the story with the plastic Fantastic, as I haven't seen it planefinder for awhile, and according to Qantas source (Jetstar Section) it hasn't logged any movements since 26/10 when it ops Cairns - Melb as JQ1626.
