Isn't she flying Qantas, or is that just the fans?

Oprah is on a corporate jet, the fans are flying Qantas.

I find that pretty much sums up what Oprah really thinks of her guests/fans.

I was under the assumption that she and John Travolta would be on the flight and would be talking to her fans throughout the flight.

It was meant to be an A380 and of course she would have been up in First Class, but the fact that she is taking a private/corporate jet is really disgusting.

Yet all her pathetic fans will still be jumping up and down about how she is changing the world etc etc

Who cares if she's flying on private jet or a commercial airliner...

I'm sure the fans aren't going to give a rats **** - it's free, gratiuit, gratuito, מחמיא, gratis...

Travolta was always up front about not coming down under due to the impending birth of his child...

You've got to be in it to win it and hopefully this proves a handy PR exercise for both Tourism NSW & QF they both need all the good PR they can get at the moment...

Well your typical Oprah viewer is not going to even be able to afford to fly here!

But yes the fans won't care as per my above comment it's going to be a trip of a lifetime in the otherwise boring lives that they live.

Grant, I am with you. Who cares?

But I thought this was a big promo for QF, then that intrigues me.

A normal plane load? of people arriving into Syd, is no different to a normal plane load of family & friends...... Aaaw Auntie blah I havent seen you for years!

It wont be a big deal if she doesnt walk off a QF747 (now)? A380 issues aside.

More fascinated, than anything else

Kind regards,

Geoff

That's my point Geoff

I thought this was a big promo for Qantas with Oprah traveling with the fans on an A380.

Images of her walking down the stairs from an A380 on a beautiful sunny Sydney day and/or of the plane coming into land etc etc.

It seems like she is just arriving on her own and fans are stuck on a standard flight.

I was under the impression it was going to be a big event, but perhaps with the A380 issues all this changed

Now Andrew.

Are QF paying for this Oprah "private jet" flight?

You are SO evil! Hah!

Kind regards
